Poetry School: Literary Locomotion: The Poetry of Movement
Sat 21 Jul 2018 to Sat 21 Jul 2018
Explore poems on the pleasures and pains of bodily effort. A celebration of what the body can do, this one day workshop will look closely at physical feats we may take for granted and ask how we can make our everyday movements recognisable but new? Tutor: Rebecca Goss
A chance to explore poems on the pleasures and pains of exertion, our physical limits and the attraction of risk; we will consider emotional reactions triggered by bodily effort, and what happens when physical odds must be overcome. When Vona Groarkejumps from a pier, we watch her ‘toss every bone and sinew to the plunge’ and I want to join her. Come and write new poems full of energy, movement and locomotion.
Rebecca Goss’s second collection Her Birth (Carcanet, 2013), was shortlisted for The 2013 Forward Prize for Best Collection, The Warwick Prize for Writing 2015 and The Portico Prize for Literature 2015. In 2014 Rebecca was selected for The Poetry Book Society’s Next Generation Poets. Twitter: @gosspoems.
