Poems from the Dispossessed: Building Bridges with Bethany Rivers
Tue 14 Apr 2026 to Tue 12 May 2026
This is a five-week online course starting Tuesday 14th April 2026, 7-9pm. £175. Bursaries available. This course will look at poems from poets (or their families) who have been displaced from their homeland, and exploring and experiencing the new insights and beautiful alchemy these poems work on us.
Each session will look at two poets, and time will be given to feel deeper in the poems with all our senses, and time to write your own response to the poem, and a chance to share it in a supportive community of writers. These writers of multi-ethnic and multi-lingual backgrounds offer fresh insights and deeper perspectives on our lives.
Led by Poet, Poetry Healing Practitioner, Focusing Teacher, Bethany Rivers (M.A.). She is mixed race and neurodivergent. She has two poetry chapbooks published with Indigo Dreams (Off the wall), and Fly on the Wall Press (the sea refuses no river). She is author of Fountain of Creativity: Ways to nourish your writing from Victorina Press, and has been teaching creative writing and writing for wellbeing for 20 years.
