16 Days - Erasure Workshop

Join Catherine Davies and Roma Havers for this 90 minute, hands-on workshop, you will explore the creative process of erasure poetry – a form where we will create new poems by erasing words from existing pieces of text.

This technique encourages poets to uncover a fresh perspective within existing work. We will be using words from poems, newspapers, magazines and maybe even some recipes! The emphasis on the day will be on experimentation and creative play.

This event is part of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, a series of poetry readings, panels and workshops led by academics in the field. Our events examine how poetry can create transformational social change in partnership with the public and policymakers.
