Writing Workshops at Waterford Libraries

A four-week generative poetry workshop that encourages participants to dive deep into their imaginations and to write with courage. We will work with writing prompts and have group discussions about contemporary poetry, exploring the poems of writers such as Seán Hewitt, Annemarie Ní Churreáin and Ada Limón. We will develop our ability to close-read poetry, looking at aspects such as imagery, metaphor and language. At the end of the four weeks, participants will have exciting drafts of new poems they can develop and refine as well as a group of fellow writers and materials to draw inspiration from.
