Poetry + The Body

Exploring self and nature through the changing human body

In this workshop, we’ll explore poems about the body and how they connect to wider themes, including motherhood and nature.

How do our bodies, in all our differences, reflect our changing attitudes towards ourselves and each other? What spark does physical touch ignite in our minds? What does it mean to conceal ourselves or reveal ourselves? What greater emotions and meaning do different parts of our bodies carry when we are healthy, ill or going through change?

We’ll consider all of this and more through poetry that celebrates, analyses and ultimately, holds space for the body in different ways.

Join an intimate group of like-minded aspiring and enthusiastic poets and learn, create and share your work in a safe and supportive space. All levels of experience are welcome.
