Casual Poetry Workshops

Description

A relaxed and generative space to spark new writing and share words with others. Perfect for poets just starting out, as well as poets with a more established practice looking to spend some time at the ‘poet’s gym’. Each session includes guided exercises, free writing time, and the opportunity to read aloud in a supportive group - no preparation needed, just bring a notebook, pen, and curiosity. What you’ll gain: · Fresh drafts and creative inspiration · Generative writing exercises and discussion of craft · Space to connect with other local poets in a friendly, low-pressure setting Izzy Roberts-Orr is a poet based on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country in Barrys Reef.
