“Brushes with words”
- a workshop in poetry writing
-
The structure of this workshop is the setting-up of a series of skirmishes in the permanently challenging battle to make words express as precisely, concisely and freshly as achievable the thoughts assembled in the writer's head.
A variety, in reproduction, of works by visual artists, combined with examples of relevant texts from a sample of contemporary poets, provide the springboard substance of the session, the basic purpose of which is to leave the participants with a positive sense of creative achievement.
Patrick Collins teaches creative writing at Oxford and is an accomplished poet and playwright. He is a sensitive and caring tutor and you can be sure of a thought provoking session in which you can be involved practically.
If you have never been to a creative writing workshop then we heartily recommend Patrick to you and if you are a seasoned learner then Patrick will challenge and support you in equal measures.
