Poetry: a form of writing that allows us to jump through line breaks, punctuate the unexpected, and explain meanings with metaphors. Come and discover the many ways poetry can deviate from the traditional. During this friendly workshop we'll take a look at some examples of unusual poetry, as well as it at play in zines and performance. We'll then warm up with some writing exercises, ready for participants to find their unique twist. 

All abilities welcome and there is the option to showcase your work at The Open Mic night back at Jesters (sign up from 6:30pm, doors 7:30pm, start at 8pm. £1 entry)
