StAnza 26 (Online): In the Company of Poetry with Polly Atkin

14:30 – 16:00 | Zoom | £5

Through shared reading and reflection, Polly Atkin will explore how poetry can offer company, spark self-discovery, and help build communities of care.

Jane Cooper once wrote that poetry ‘exists to give everyone more life’, and described poetry itself as ‘a living experience in which we, poet and reader, participate together. A partnership.’ This online workshop will explore poetry as communal action, as a place to meet and as a place to practice togetherness. Join Polly to discuss and work through what it means to collaborate across space and time, especially when we are physically isolated.
