Poetry Workshop

These workshops are an invitation to pause and make time to play with poetry, write and connect with other writers, and nourish and expand your creative practice.

Join me on the 3rd Tuesday of each month (note the February date is a Wednesday!) for an hour and a half of exploratory writing fun.

Each workshop we'll aim to explore at least three wonderful poems by other poets, and write three of our own pieces in response to bespoke prompts and exercises. There'll be opportunity each session for reading, writing, and sharing, though never any obligation to do so.

These workshops are non-sequential, so feel free to come to one, many, or all of them!

As a working class writer I know all about coming up against pay barriers so there's three tiers of admission for these workshops. If you can afford general admission please know it's greatly appreciated, but concession and donation entries are available for those who need them.

Who am I? I'm a Manchester based poet and poetry facilitator; I run the Norther Quarter's monthly poetry open mic & gallery evening: 'The Space Poetic', am a Manchester Writing School MFA student, and writer at 'Poet Notes' on Substack. During 2025 my work has been published by Ink Sweat and Tears, Ver Poets, Ghost Light Lit, and Superlative; and awarded by The Barn Owl Trust and Wirral Poetry Festival (2024).
