Ecopoetry workshop: Animal Language with Susan Richardson

Experiment with speaking seal, writing owl and translating wolf into human! In this innovative workshop, you'll work with sound prompts in the form of wildlife field recordings, while examples of published poems in which writers grapple with the challenge of speaking, transcribing and translating the language of another species, will also be provided to trigger inspiration. Both beginner and more experienced poets are warmly welcome.
