Recommendations for workshops & similar please
Hello,
Does anyone have any suggestions for interesting poetry workshops or similar (zoom etc). Not so much structured courses - more an afternoon of interesting ideas/provocations, or a day or (at most) a couple of days.
Most of the courses I've looked at either ask for a regular time-commitment over long weeks, or lead to a qualification, or are full of vanity narratives, or just look crap/insular/overly fluffy or are vomit-inducing for a variety of reasons.
(not that I'm picky or anything).
Anyway, if there is anything out there that you'd recommend, please share.
Sarah-Jane

Now I am curious about what vomit-inducing poetry workshops look like.

Sarah-Jane this place (the Sphere) has something called Classrooms, about which I know nothing, but check it out for content and possible cost?

Thank-you RCL,
I had a look but I think 'classrooms' is short fiction. Cost is fine as long as it isn't ridiculous.
However, if there is an in-house thing, and anyone wants a knowledge-exchange with collage/photoshop that is a skill I can bring.
(But I was looking for external things - I only know poetry forums, tbh and it would be good to see what the edu-poetry world looks like outside of these)

They're the ones that have policies like, "please give positive comments to all poems, so we don't foster an atmosphere of negativity, in any way".
P.s.: Sarah, your question is interesting, and I'm looking forward to reading any suggestions.

I have been looking at that Classrooms forum for years. It hasn't changed.
Get a-Googling. Investigate The Poetry School and Coffee House Poetry or look into courses with The Arvon Foundation or Ty Newydd.
Good luck.

Not a recommendation as such, but as I've just discovered, if you stick "poetry workshop" into the search box at Eventbrite, lots come up. Some of which look very interesting, and quite a few are free.
