Consider the importance of possessions, investigate the pull of memory and explore the drama in domesticity to build your own 'house of poems'.
What is this idea of home? In her poem ‘The History of My Father’s House’ Vona Groarke wants to discover the year her father’s house was built, and remembers ‘not by year, but by keepsake and event’. During this one-day workshop you will look at contemporary poems set in kitchens, bathrooms, sitting rooms, bedrooms and explore the drama in domesticity. You will consider the importance of objects and possessions; the pull of memory and nostalgia; the ideas of privacy and space. This will lead to you creating a ‘house of poems’ of your own.
One-day workshop from 10:30am to 4:30pm on Saturday 17th June.
