Workshop with Emily Hasler: ‘Building the Poem’

Create poems inspired by the built environment with award-winning poet Emily Hasler. We will look at poems about buildings and thinkabout poems as something we build—using the bricks of language, sound and syntax, connotations and connections. We’ll draft and share our own new structures in a friendly, relaxed setting.

All welcome, regardless of poetry and architecture experience!
