Small Lightnings with Jo Bell & Martin Malone |
 |
Cost: 595 Euros
Dates: Fri 29 March – Fri 5 April 2013

The best poetry sounds like nothing but itself. Your strongest work derives from your own voice: and working with others will help you to find it. In a lively week of writing, reading and challenging ourselves as writers, we encourage you to write the best poetry you can.
You will come away with plentiful new work, and the creative chemistry of Gardoussel will be vital. Working together can generate new ideas, so we encourage you to pair up, work in groups and develop your own poetry in collaboration with others in order to juice up your verse. Friendly, fizzy and pleasantly challenging for all levels of poetry writer.
