Join Poetica's Miriam Hechtman for a poetry workshop that uses poems as prompts.

There is something about sitting and writing in community. It's a different kind of writing experience - the discipline of time, the engagement with participants, the sounds of writing, and the opportunity to share words with others. Miriam will bring a selection of poems to this session. She will read a poem aloud and then participants choose a 'golden line' or theme or form from the poem to prompt them to write their own poem. Then there is quiet writing time. Then a chance to share your poem. Then on to the next poem. And repeat.

Join us for a cup of tea (or very good coffee from across the road) and let's write.
