Polylingual Poetry Workshop with Zahra

Saturday 02 November 2024, 10:00

£10/£5

Did you know that 36% of the UK population has access to more than one language? This workshop will invite you to use your many tongues, dialects, accents and registers to shape your poetry. You can examine code-switching, family lingo and the many ways that languages have shaped you.

Prize-winning poet Zahra will guide you to explore the joys and shames associated with being a multilingual writer. And you will leave with a few new polylingual poems under your belt.
