About this workshop
Join this one-day workshop with award-winning BBC Radio 4 Poet-in-Residence, Daljit Nagra.
Did you know
The Poetry Please programme running on BBC Radio 4 marked its 25th year in 2004 and is known to be the longest running poetry programme broadcast anywhere in the world.
In this workshop
In this 1-day workshop, you will undertake writing exercises to help your work take on a deeper engagement with the foreign.
- How do you write about distant, beautiful places without sounding politically naïve or patronising?
- How do you make foreign places complicatedly beautiful?
You will discover that one approach to help energise such work requires an appreciation of the exotic.
Now you can
- Develop a better understanding of exotic poetry
- Work on your poetry, near and far
- Meet other like-minded poets interested in expanding their knowledge!
