A small, relaxed poetry workshop run by Word Space in collaboration with Waterstones, led by poet and facilitator Joshua Hallam. It is designed for anyone who wants to develop their writing, with no previous experience needed. The only requirement is an interest in learning and growing as a writer.
Each session splits roughly evenly between guided, prompted writing built around selected readings, and workshopping, where participants read each other's poems, discuss technique and push one another with suggestions and fresh perspectives. Hallam is a poet with an MA in Writing Poetry from The Poetry School, and he hosts Word Space, a poetry community founded in 2022 that also runs open mics and events.
