Join Will Harris for a fun, communal poetry workshop where you’ll play with – and stretch – the links between objects, words and sounds; share stories, listen closely to things, and stay as close as possible to the non-sense within.

Will Harris has published two poetry collections with Granta: RENDANG and Brother Poem. He has been shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize and won the Forward Prize for Best First Collection and is a contributing editor for PN Review.

This workshop is aimed at practising poets and is FREE to attend but places are very limited.

How to apply for a place

The email should be headed ‘The Sound of Poetry workshop’ and sent to john@carcanet.co.uk between Monday 25 September and Sunday 1 October. You will be notified by email in early October if you have been allocated a place.
