Poetry Workshop – Volunteering To Be A Poet
James McDermott
Event Details
Much like a poet, a volunteer is a person who freely offers to undertake a task. To coincide with the Artspace Volunteers exhibition, through a series of writing exercises and group discussions of poems, in this interactive workshop we will explore ideas of volunteering and what it means to freely undertake the task of writing poetry and being a poet.
