A Portobello Poetry Walk: Being Guided By Nature
Join clare e. potter for a poetry walk around Portobello Beach where we will pay deep attention, taking nature as our guide for our writing. We will practise deep noticing, and think about how the environment we are in can be a collaborator in our writing. There will be moments to pause and reflect so participants can capture what interests them and carry on that thread after the walk.
Please meet for this walk at The Portobello Bookshop on Portobello High Street. The event does take place outside, so please dress for all weathers.
