New Excitements with Andrew McMillan (duration: 3 hours):

Our work is continuously evolving and shifting as we take continue to read both old and new texts and add to to the shelves of our own personal libraries.

During this workshop, we’ll think about some recent and new exciting work, as well as some long established books, to reignite and reinvigorate our own work; through a series of exercises and challenges, inspired by both poetry and prose, we’ll see how we can unlock new directions for our own work, and leave with drafts and new beginnings we can continue to develop
