Arvon Online Writing Week: Poetry & The Lyric Essay for Neurodivergent Writers - Exploring your Wordself with Jen Hadfield and Joanne Limburg
Mon 19 Sep 2022 to Fri 23 Sep 2022
This gentle course is led by neurodivergent writer/poets Jen Hadfield and Joanne Limburg, and along with the team at Arvon they’ll curate a comfortable and flexible virtual space in which to express your creativity, try things out and explore your relationship to language and lyricism.

The teaching is designed to be accessible to students with a variety of needs, so that you can interact in whatever way feels best for you. Expect supportive workshops and one-to-ones where you can try out a range of poetic and short non-fiction forms, including sessions on voice, silence, form and collage.

Both beginners and experienced writers/writers with all levels of confidence are welcome.

Jen Hadfield’s fourth poetry collection The Stone Age explores neurodiversity. Her work has garnered numerous awards, including the T.S.Eliot Prize for her second collection, Nigh-No-Place.

Joanne Limburg has published poetry, non-fiction and fiction. Her most recent book is Letters to My Weird Sisters: On Autism and Feminism. She was diagnosed with autism in 2012.
