Ella Duffy Workshop - Ecological Entanglements

‘This world is a tangled mat of water spinach, of simmering rose / dew, of hungry velvet things' - from “In the Future, the Garden Grows Over Everything” by Jane Wong

In this workshop, we will read and write poems which explore human and more-than-human entanglements. Through playful writing exercises, we will develop our ability to notice. We will spin webs and crawl into the between-spaces, then report back on what is caught in the web and found in the spaces.

NB Zoom links to the individual workshops will arrive in your inbox 48 hours before each workshop. Please check your junk folder.
