Join poet Annemarie Ní Churreáin for a writing workshop that explores the pursuit of poetry as a sacred quest. 

Inspired by her recent collection Hymn to All the Restless Girls, this workshop draws from traditions of magic, dreamscapes, ritual and folklore to spark new creative possibilities for poets. Through generative writing prompts, close readings and group discussion, you’ll be invited to take creative risks, discuss the editing process and deepen your practice of writing poems. 

Expect to leave with fresh ideas – and a brand new draft of a poem, written during the workshop.

Please note: this workshop is suitable for poets with an existing practice.
