5 Oct: Three Lovely Notes: the poetry of birds and birdsong (workshop)
Join poet, Yvonne Reddick for a writing workshop all about the poetry of birds! From robins to lyrebirds, poets are fascinated by birds and birdsong. We’ll read some classics by Edward Thomas and some contemporary poets, and think about how we can use birdsong to shape our own poems.
We’ll head out for a short walk to the Physic Garden, and see if we can spot any birds. We’ll use what we’ve observed, and our imaginations, to help our poems take wing!
This workshop involves a short walk, so please dress for the weather and bring comfortable shoes.
About Yvonne Reddick:
Yvonne Reddick is a poet, nature writer and literary critic. She is the author of Ted Hughes: Environmentalist and Ecopoet (Palgrave Macmillan) and Burning Season, which will be published by Bloodaxe in 2023.
