Description
The workshop will explore the creative dreaming-spaces opened up by craft, playing with cento poems* as a vehicle for dreaming, experimentation and radical ideas, and building hand-bound books to house these poems. We will look at the work of poets like Cameron Awkward-Rich, Simone Muench and Joelle Taylor. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have written a cento and created a unique, hand-bound notebook.*a cento is a literary work collaged entirely from other authors’ verses or passages.
You are invited to bring with you a text — a poem, novel, article, play etc. — that you feel inspires hope (please note this isn’t strictly necessary).
