This Lunar Beauty: Reading and Writing to the Moon
"The Moon is an astonishing companion on the human journey. She both lights the way and invites us into the dark." (Bethroot Gwynn)
Join poet Liz Berry for a dreamy, nurturing workshop inspired by the winter moon. Full of playful exercises to inspire new poems, you'll read, write and share ideas. Poets of all stages welcome.
Liz Berry was born in the Black Country and now lives in Birmingham. Her first book of poems, Black Country (Chatto 2014), a ‘sooty, soaring hymn to her native West Midlands’ (Guardian) was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation, received a Somerset Maugham Award, the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Award and Forward Prize for Best First Collection. Liz's pamphlet The Republic of Motherhood (Chatto, 2018) was a Poetry Book Society Pamphlet Choice and the title poem won the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem. In 2021 she collaborated with artist Tom Hicks on The Dereliction (Hercules Editions) a chapbook of poems and photographs of the Black Country.
