Poetry Workshop- Folk Futures - SUNDAY at Morocco Bound Bookshop, London on Sun, Oct 11, 5:00 PM. Tickets from $11.33. Lineup, start time and tickets on Ckord.
What happens when we reinvent the folk traditions we’ve inherited? Drawing on folk music, storytelling, ritual, landscape and working-class and diasporic cultures, we’ll explore how poetry can reclaim, challenge and reimagine ideas of “folk culture”. An apt theme for this harvest season, poets are encouraged to bring their own folk traditions to discuss. **Rough schedule** 5:00-5:15pm: welcome, time to grab a drink 5:15-6:00pm: warm-up exercise & discussion 6:00-6:45pm: reading, discussing, writing 6:45-7:00pm: break 7:00-7:30pm: reading, discussing, writing 7:30-8:00pm: sharing, workshopping, editing *Ruth is a London-based poet & tutor originally from the West Midlands.
