John Clare – Poetry Workshops for Spring

John Clare – Poetry Workshops for Spring

Archived Event

 Join us for two special guided poetry-writing workshops this Spring!

PLEASE NOTE: Tickets for this event will go off sale on Friday 9 April at 4pm

Echoing John Clare in the Twenty-First Century:

Two Poetry-Writing workshops inspired by his Work.

Led by Ellis Hall and Bridget Somekh, authors of 'Love's Cold Returning: John Clare's 1841 Odyssey from Essex to Northamptonshire'

Through his poetry, John Clare made his world shine with meaning, opening a vivid window on nineteenth-century rural life for the modern reader. Can we do the same for our own world, and capture the essence of our everyday lives for future generations? And if so, what can we learn from Clare that could help us?

To find out, join us in our guided poetry-writing workshops. Attend one or both, and have your work published on the Stamford Poetry facebook page.
