Women Writing Together:  Turning Conversations Into Poems [in person]

Tees Women Poets

How do we take other people's stories and honour them in poetry?

Cafe Etch

Stories are what binds a community together, everyone has a tale to tell and an experience to share. In this workshop, poet and illustrator Lizzie Lovejoy will explore how we engage in conversations. Looking at what we can learn from talking to people that does not just involve their words, and how we can craft poems and spoken word pieces to honour the tales we experience. This session will involve some memory sharing, rhythm making and, of course, poetry crafting. L﻿izzie is one of two Tees Women Poets commissioned by the Storylines project to talk to passengers on the Middlesbrough-Bishop Aukland railway and capture their stories towards the upcoming centenary celebrations for the historic Stockton-Darlington Railway. Her workshop is informed by her practice as poet-in-residence on this project.T﻿hanks to funding from Arts Council England, all our events are free 2023-25. What happens after that is anyone&#x27;s guess - if you&#x27;d like to help us create a sustainable future for women poets in Teesside, you are always welcome to make a small donation, but it&#x27;s not mandatory!
