About this event
Well, that’s love, isn’t it? Joy and Pain and Wonder all mixed in together. And there’s plenty of joy and wonder in Anne’s world in early February 1834. Let’s use the marvellous Anne Lister as our focus, our motivational muse.
Whether you’re just about to put pen to paper, or already a published poet, these workshops are for you. This is all about celebrating you, and your writing. You are a unique writer.
On 12th February 1834 Anne and Ann pledged themselves to each other, and exchanged rings. Ann Walker wore the one Anne had purchased for her in York. Although it was another month before they took the sacrament, for both women the ring exchange was binding enough.
In tonight’s Poetic Technique ‘goody bag’ we have ‘Describing a character through clothes’.
Our clothes say a huge about us, not just our particular style but how we are feeling. Our emotions are often reflected in what we wear. Ever tried to wear bright positive colours when you just don’t feel that way? How do we express this physiological trait in poetry? How do we make it effective and how do we maximise this clever little technique?
It will be of benefit if you can familiarise yourself with Anne Lister’s diaries and/or the BBC Gentleman Jack TV series.
Fun writing exercises, guided writing, and exploring the technique of ‘Writing about a character through clothes’, will support, develop, and really drive your writing forward. Poetry by women writers, as well as extracts from the diaries of Anne Lister, will be used as our resource material.
- The poetry workshops will be held online via Zoom.
