Arvon Online Writing Day: Poetry - The Houses are Haunted with Richard Scott
Sat 1 Apr 2023 to Sat 1 Apr 2023
In what ways might a poem be like a ghost? How might the body of the speaker become invisible? What ideas can be said to ‘haunt’ a poem? Join award-winning poet Richard Scott for this one-day course inspired by the diaphanous and the uncanny.
During workshops, you’ll explore the idea of a poem as a vanishing, taking a journey in your work from the known and the corporeal into something altogether more haunted and spectral. Be prepared to generate lots of new material.
Richard says: “In the words of Lucie Brock Broido, we will be ‘a freak of letters crossing down a rare / Path bleak with poplars’; following Ocean Vuong in his quest to ‘ disappear [. . .] let the fog spill through the cracked window & cover my fangs’; as we firmly enter Wallace Steven’s landscape in which all ‘the houses are haunted.”
The guest speaker for this writing day will be poet CAConrad.
Richard Scott’s pamphlet Wound won the Michael Marks Poetry Award 2016 and his poem ‘crocodile’ won the Poetry London 2017 Competition. Soho, published in 2018, is his first book.
