Budget-friendly online Ecopoetry Workshop -Clare Shaw, Caleb Parkin, Rishi Dastidar & Jessica Mookherjee

As part of Milton Keynes literary festival, Poets for the Planet are leading an online workshop, Digging in the Dirt: Adventures in Ecopoetry from 7-8.30pm on Tuesday 5 August. Clare Shaw, Caleb Parkin, Rishi Dastidar and Jessica Mookherjee will each present a masterclass that “demonstrates their relationship to location and place, and how this is reflected in their poetry and their writing process and practices”.

The 90 minute session will include writing exercises and prompts. There will be opportunities after the event to submit writing that it has inspired to Poets for the  Planet for sharing on their website and/or to MK Lit Fest’s Raising Voices Project, which is developing an online interactive audio-visual map of people’s responses to and relationships with particular locations across our home city.

The workshop is priced at £15/£12 and all profits will be donated to Give Peat a Chance. For more information about the workshop, see here.
