Leap into Poetry
with Carmen Leigh Keates
Have you ever read a poem that started in one place yet ended up somewhere completely unpredictable and wondered how the poet came up with the idea? You will come away from this workshop with a powerful poem that is true to your own life and individuality.
Carmen is a special guest at this year’s Tasmanian Poetry Festival, and offers this workshop as part of a one-week residency following the Festival. Workshop and booking details here.
When: Sunday, 12 October, 10am-4pm
Where: Salamanca Arts Centre, Hobart
Cost: $88 for members ($120 non-members)
Carmen will be staying at the Kelly St Cottage for a residency after the Tasmanian Poetry Festival. She will be available to meet local poets for coffee and a chat during the week – contact the TWC office if you’d like to arrange a meeting.
