The Music of Language

A day-long creative writing workshop exploring poetry as an act of attention and response to sound, place and memory. The day is led by renowned poet, educator and mentor Jacob Sam-La Rose.

The day will balance individual writing, collaborative exchange, and moments of reflection, and will conclude with an informal sharing of work for those who wish to take part. Open to writers of all levels of experience.
