Ty Newydd: Writing the Body: Enchantment, Nature, and Embodiment (Poetry) Tutors / Zoë Brigley & Rupinder Kaur Waraich
Mon 20 Jul 2026 to Fri 24 Jul 2026
In this week-long course, we will explore writing the body in all its complexity — through lenses of enchantment, nature, mental health, disability, body positivity and neutrality, and the lived experiences of bodies traditionally marginalized.
Together, we will think about how writing can reclaim, celebrate, or reimagine the body — whether resisting the narratives that have been forced upon it, documenting lived experiences of illness or disability, or celebrating the beauty of bodies that exist beyond narrow cultural ideals.
We will look to folklore, sensory experience, and the natural world while drawing from poets whose writing illuminates intersections of race, gender, sexuality, disability, and more.
Workshops will be generative and exploratory, with opportunities to experiment with form, sound, and imagery. Afternoons will offer one-to-one feedback to help you refine your poems and develop your individual voice.
This is a course for poets at any stage of their practice, but with a particular welcome to those interested in bold, tender, and truth-telling work that challenges conventional narratives of the body.
