As part of the Northern Poetry Library development Lisa Matthews created a new poetic form, the Anchored Terset (sic) – three words, one per line, with a fourth line of punctuation – to explore the strengths, and limitations, of short forms.

This hands-on workshop will use the momentum of a series of workshop exercises to explore a variety of microforms.

We will write standalone micro-poems, we’ll sequence them and cut them up to rebuild them into something other, something new. A faced-paced, hands-on day, come prepared to say a lot with a few words.
