Free Event
Poetry on a Plate – Poetry Workshop hosted by Cathy Grindrod.
Hunger for poetry? Thirst for meeting other poets? Come along and enjoy reading and writing poetry on the theme of food and drink in this supportive workshop. Cathy is an award-winning Derbyshire writer, formerly Derbyshire Poet Laureate, and author of five published poetry collections.
Separate to this workshop and as a special offer for Nottingham Poetry Festival, Cathy is offering some free hour-long coaching sessions for any poetry writers who would like to talk about their work or seek advice about anything poetry-related. The Writer Highway is a programme of support for writers, which involves mentoring, coaching and supportive feedback on writing. To be considered, all you have to do is tell Cathy why you would like the session, and she will select the most persuasive poets!
Please contact Cathy directly on cathy.grindrod@btinternet.com – closing date 30th April – or pop along to this workshop to discuss in person.
This event is part of the annual Nottingham Poetry Festival, which takes place between 20th – 29th April with Roger McGough, Jackie Kay and Hollie McNish among the headliners.
Building on the success of the two previous festivals and working closely with the Nottingham poetry community, Nottingham Poetry Festival 2018 is produced by Nottingham-born poet Henry Normal, Craig Chettle and Tommy Rosley (Farmyard Promotions/Hockley Hustle) and takes place in over 30 Nottingham bars, cafes, bookshops and other venues.
