City Lit: Writing the body in poetry with Julie Irigaray
Sat 5 Nov 2022 to Sun 6 Nov 2022
Explore the relationship between poetry and the body and learn to be bold and innovative in writing about your own bodily experiences, in this thought-provoking workshop.
How do contemporary poets write about puberty, pregnancy, or illness? How do social constructions around beauty standards and perceptions of femininity and masculinity influence the way we write about the body? In this course, we will be looking at the changing body, the (un)tamed body, the aching body, and many other themes to cover a wide range of bodily experiences.
Julie is a poet from the south-west of France. Her poetry pamphlet "Whalers, Witches and Gauchos" will be published by Nine Pens Press in April 2021. She is the winner and finalist of several literary prizes in the UK and Ireland and was selected as part of the 50 Best New British and Irish Poets 2018 (Eyewear Publishing).
