Join us at Verge for Making Poetry Machines, a workshop led by poets and Crawlspace co-founders Hannah Jenkins and Rory Green. This workshop will explore hand-made, human-scale approaches to generative, computational poetry – as both a methodology for writing, and as an avenue for publishing – drawing on the poetry in the exhibition and on Crawlspace.

Learn more about the exhibition and related public programs here.

We ask that participants bring their own laptop, but please contact us if you need one supplied.
Please note that places are strictly limited. If you are no longer able to attend, please contact us so that your place can be given to someone else.
