3pm - Poetry Reading: Love Actually
Open to the public.
Perhaps every poem is a love poem, including Dr Karlo Mila’s recent political poetry. Karlo will read some favourites and speak to how love poems have propelled her creative practice.
1pm - Creative Workshop: Re-membering ourselves through poetry
Registration required.
How does place shape and create us? In this workshop, we'll write a poem grounded in place, memory and personal identity. We'll reach into the past in a multisensory way, generating a poem that we can return to again and again and remember who we
are, and why.
Places are limited. For ages 14+.
Bring your laptop/tablet/notebook.
