Workshop with Jo Bell at Dig the Poetry

A four hour poetry workshop with the delightful Jo Bell today at Dig the Poetry

No slacking or daydreaming, just pen-to-paper and us unearthing our own many-layered history.

As Jo said: 

• Concrete.

 

• Concise.

 

• Conviction.

Innadaeks by Jen Hadfield

From Woman's Hour, BBC Radio 4. No longer available I think on iplayer, but Jen Hadfield reading Innadaeks can be found here

NaPoWriMo

No, I'm not joining in, though was tempted.

But NaPoWriMo is kicking up a lot of interesting blogs. For example 100poetryforms. Or the poetry form 'The Abnominal', invented by Andrew Philip.

All these are the poetic equivalent of a foot spa for tired words and thought processes.
