‘Rhythms of life, musicality in poetry and prose’

Join us for this exciting creative writing workshop with former Cheshire Poet Laureate, published author, playwright and experienced workshop facilitator, Joy Winkler.

Of this workshop, Joy says…. “In this workshop we will look at how rhythm and cadence can give musicality to our writing. At how prose can be poetic and how poetry can sound melodic. Also, we will look at the natural rhythms and patterns of our lives or of our characters’ lives and how this affects the ebb and flow of each life’s journey. Or at how the change in the seasons affects a character’s mood. At how constant natural elements such as ocean’s tides and the moon’s patterns can be a constant to place a turbulent story against.” (Includes: Creative Writing Workshop with a former Cheshire Poet Laureate, Park Entry and Garden Entry)
