'Epiphanies and Other Movable Feasts' with Nichola Deane
A festival-themed poetry writing workshop:
‘Boat-races, birthdays, marriages, martyrdoms.’ These are what Michael Donaghy called ‘immovable feasts.’ But in this workshop we’ll look more at the moveable feasts and festivals. Inspired by Donaghy’s lines ‘we’re summoned to our lonely ceremonies anytime: / B minor, the mouldiness of an old encyclopedia …’ we will celebrate the ‘architecture of moments’ that give rise to poetry. We will look at epiphanies and negative epiphanies in the work of poets such as Richard Wilbur, Alice Oswald, and Donaghy himself, and investigate ways we can deepen our power of attention to the moments that make up our lives.
This workshop runs until 1pm. Visit our website at www.poetryschool.com or call us on 0207 582 1679 for more details and booking.
Entry: £35, £31 (60+), £27 (Concessions)
