‘Packing: Journeys of Thought.’ Poetry Workshops with Martin Malone
Join Martin Malone for his invigorating and fun approach to poetry writing. Martin will be exploring the theme of ‘Journey’ with freewriting, collaborative writing, group chain writing and a series of more personal journey exercises, to get the creative juices flowing.
The song of the nomad pre-dates the scribbling of a settler.
Joseph Brodsky
The journey of the thought is controlled by the journey of its sounds. Each passage has its own nexus of sounds, which make the words belong to each other. This is a highly emotional subject. To convince, the words have to feel absolutely right together.
