Service Description

Looking for a kickstart with your poetry and want some fresh approaches? Searching for a poetry session which is welcoming and enjoyable? Seeking to start a new poetry writing project and need some inspiration? Join The Writing Hour! At most you'll be inspired by three poetic writing prompts and come away from the session with three new drafts to work on, and at least you'll have had some fun and rekindled a love of writing. The session is open to writers of all levels and abilities. Be inspired to write the beginnings of three new poems in three 20-minute intervals, from a range of stimuli including music, images and film. Facilitated by Andrew Jamison. Cost: £15 Testimonial from past event: "Thank you so much for a really productive hour! I have been keeping an eye out for writing sessions that might be generative and "The Writing Hour" was the first I saw that was truly accessible in terms of the length of time and cost. It was also liberating to know that I wouldn’t have to share anything I wrote during the hour. It was such a treat... I was delighted to start today with a 5-minute writing exercise based on one of the prompts from the session. "The Writing Hour" was a powerful way of thinking about what writing might be done in a short window of time. I also enjoyed that you shared your own process and responses to the prompts." Olwen
