Poetry Workshop- Arctic Fever - MONDAY

A London poetry workshop led by the poet and tutor Ruth, built on lateral thinking and playful writing exercises. It takes place at Morocco Bound Bermondsey in Southwark.

The session is a writing workshop on lateral thinking, focused on poems that build their meaning through free associative leaps, detours, returns to a repeated phrase and sudden links between distant images. Through playful exercises, participants see how ideas that seem unrelated at first can be shaped into a single poem.

The workshop combines reading, discussion, writing and sharing. Participants read examples together, talk about how they work, write their own pieces and then read them aloud to the group. Breaks for drinks and conversation are part of the programme.

Ruth, a London-based poet and tutor, leads the session. It is aimed at people who enjoy poetry and want to try writing it, and who would like to meet other people with the same interest. The workshop is held at Morocco Bound Bermondsey, a venue in Southwark that is wheelchair accessible.
