Surprised By A Poem

Sue Rickards and Rachel Smith

In the same way that learning to make an omelette doesn't make us a chef, or making a clay pot doesn't make us a ceramicist, writing a poem doesn't make us a poet.

However, we might turn out to love making omelettes or pots or writing a poem or two. If you would like the latter to be true, whatever your experience or absence thereof, this might be for you. Over these 5 weeks we'll come together to work and play with letting poems appear. We'll read and write poems, whether we think we can or not, we'll move to some fab music and see what happens. Together we'll hear and write the unexpected.

Rachel is a poet and always will be, she loves poetry and wants to work with it.

Sue is not a poet, and doesn’t want to be, yet she loves poetry and wants to play with it.
