Overview

Taking inspiration from our biggest fiascos, this poetry workshop forms a safe space to fail.

“It could have gone so many ways. / This is just one of the ways it went. / Tell me another.” – Brenda Shaughnessy

Taking inspiration from our biggest fiascos, this poetry workshop forms a safe space to fail. We’ll discover poems that celebrate the mistakes and missteps of everyday life and prove that the best poems won’t always succeed the first time around. Whether you’ve always wanted to give poetry a go, or whether you write every weekend, we’ll work together and find that inspiration from fiascos and failures is just as valuable as favour and fortune.
