Want to learn what makes a poem and how to get started as a poet? Melbourne poet Amanda Anastasi will show you how she turns an idea or personal experience into a poem, and will guide you through poetry writing exercises to help you build and refine your craft. The workshop also covers how to find the right audience for your work.
This session is perfect for early career poets and prior publication is not necessary. Bring your curiosity, words, and a willingness to experiment with ideas and language. Amanda’s supportive, down-to-earth teaching style will help you gain confidence in your own voice and develop the skills to take your poetry further.
