BRAND NEW WORDS - "The Unspeakable" Creative Writing Workshop with Kim Moore

Join award-winning poet and expert writing tutor Kim Moore for a 90 minute creative writing workshop centred on "The Unspeakable." 

In this supportive session, you'll explore how to bypass your inner critic, approach complex emotions slantways, and find language for things that defy explanation. 

Open to all experience levels, you will leave with raw drafts, fresh metaphors, and unique craft techniques to transform silence into powerful imagery. 

For everyone aged 16+
