Marjorie’s Table (Sun 15th)
Start your day with poetry! In this friendly morning meet-up, Forward Prize-winning poet Marjorie Lotfi will help you gather your thoughts and ease into a day of listening, reading, and reflection on all things poetry.
In this espresso-sized session, part writing warm-up, part close reading, you’ll look at a cluster of poems by one of the poets from the festival’s online programme, reflect briefly on craft, and then spend some time writing in response.
