Winchester Poetry Festival 2025
Bite The Day To The Core: workshop with Suzanne Conway
Join Suzanne Conway for this writing workshop inspired by Edward Thomas and Keats, presented in collaboration with The Edward Thomas Fellowship.
What do Edward Thomas’s Liberty and The Glory, and Keats’s O thou whose face hath felt the winter’s wind and Ode to a Nightingale have in common? These poems will be used as stimulus to inspire attendees' own writing. This workshop will explore and celebrate nature, symbolism, the past, idleness, and our own – and Edward Thomas's – glorious complexity.
Suzanne Conway is a poet, writer and teacher. She has published articles, essays, reviews, and over thirty poems in magazines and anthologies, including The Poetry Review, The Dark Horse, The North, Acumen, The London Magazine, and elsewhere. She teaches for the Poetry School and the University of Exeter.
The Edward Thomas Fellowship was founded in 1980 to perpetuate the memory of Edward Thomas, foster interest in his life and works, and arrange events which extend these interests.
