Ty Newydd are currently offering two reduced cost places on two of their July courses: Dreaming the Land (July 14 - 19) and Poetry (July 21 - 26)
Dreaming the Land: July 14 - 19
Tutors: Graham Mort and Sara Maitland
Dreaming the Land will explore notions of selfhood and belonging using actual landscapes around Ty Newydd and drawing upon imagined and remembered places . It will give participants the opportunity to develop new work in prose and poetry, giving shape to landscapes through language and expressing the ways in which a sense of place has, in turn, shaped memory and imagination.
Poetry: July 21 - 26
Tutors: Gillian Clarke and Imtiaz Dharker
Gillian Clarke is a poet, editor, playwright, writer-in-schools and occasional broadcaster. She is currently working on her 7th full collection.
Imtiaz Dharker works as a documentary film-maker in India and as a freelance writer in Britain. She is also an artist, and conceives her books as sequences of poems and drawings.
Guest reader: Moniza Alvi
The reduced cost for booking on either of these courses is £100.
Courses at the Ty Newydd writers centre provide the opportunity of working closely with 2 professional writers and are a combination of workshops, individual tutorials and readings with time in between for writing. Courses are open to all over the age of 16, and no qualifications are necessary.
A brochure which includes details of all Ty Newydd courses, accommodation, booking conditions, bursaries etc. is available from the centre direct.
