Poetry Workshop: Self-Love Sonnets 101

  • The Chestnut Tree Bookshop 542 Barkly Street West Footscray, VIC, 3012 Australia (map)

For women, then, poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence.

It forms the quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change, first made into language, then into idea, then into more tangible action.

- Audre Lorde

Join British poet Lalah-Simone Springer for a beginner-friendly poetry workshop exploring and queering the idea of a 'sonnet'. Usually, sonnets are love poems written to other people. In this class, we'll learn the rules for writing a sonnet, and then find the lesson from our own life story which we can share in our poetry.

The result is an uplifting, nourishing writing session leaving you with lots of ideas to explore in your writing practice, no matter what level you are at.
