Description

Jessa Brown, poet, is a former Heritage Officer for Southwark, and the stories found in our archives have been a source of inspiration for much of her work – including ‘Greygoose, Joanna’, the poem that won her Keats-Shelley Prize this year. At this one-of-a-kind workshop, she’ll be sharing insights into some of this inspiration – and ideas about using archive material in your own work.
