How to conjure mystery and magic in a poem? Join poet and editor Annemarie Ní Churreáin for a creative writing workshop aimed at poets writing across a range of subjects including landscape, history, family autobiography and the Otherworld. In a supportive and encouraging environment participants will learn to identify resonant themes and will gain insights into the dynamics at play in the making of a poem. Workshop activities will include creative writing prompts, close reading of work by established poets, and group discussion. No previous experience of poetry or of magic required.
