This is a workshop for budding young poets and those who want to use their voices in different forms to say something about what they see around them!
Maxine Beneba Clarke has written limericks, haiku, verse, tongue-twisters, sonnets and more in Stuff I’m (Not) Sorry For. Ever experienced the unbearable itch of chicken pox? Annoyed at having to use your parent’s Spotify account? Smashed a window with a cricket ball? Enjoyed the glorious sweetness of fairy floss? Worn your afro high and proud? Felt anxiety at reading a text message? Or do you want to say something else entirely? Get tips for sharing your experience of the world in your own special way.
For ages 9-12.
