Nine Arches Press: Summer Poetry Workshop - Mashups and Collisions with Tania Hershman
Sat 2 Aug 2025 to Sat 2 Aug 2025
When two or more unlikely objects collide, what magic might result? In this poetry workshop led by hybrid writer Tania Hershman we'll be bringing together and colliding all kinds of things — from physics to fairy tales, detectives, spaceships, insects and histories — giving you permission to play.
A chance to find new ways to write the poems you want to write in whatever form you want to write them - with a few flash fictions and hybrids slipped in the mix!
We'll be looking at examples of mashups and playing with different types of colliding and seeing what emerges!
Tania Hershman is a queer writer of odd things, short, very short, and longer. A poet, writer, teacher and editor based in Manchester, Tania is the author of nine books: her second poetry collection, Still Life With Octopus, was published by Nine Arches Press in July 2022, and her debut novel, Go On – a fictional memoir-in-collage partly inspired by being writer-in-residence in Manchester’s Southern Cemetery – by Broken Sleep Books in November 2022. Tania's writing has won various prizes. She is editor of the charity anthology FUEL: 75 Prize-Winning Flash Fictions Raising Funds to Fight Fuel Poverty (Feb 2023), and was honoured to be Arvon’s writer-in-residence from Nov 2022-April 2023.
