“On the 100th anniversary of T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, join the recent T. S. Eliot Prize winner Joelle Taylor for an exclusive workshop responding to the themes of this classic poem, including textual analysis and writing exercises. Participants will consider the relevance of the poem in today’s world, and how we too can find ways to write about chaos, desolation and apocalyptic themes whilst still retaining a sense of hope and wonder.

“Poetry films merge words and images to create a new piece of art. In this workshop, Helen Dewbery will cover some of the different styles and genres of poetry film, basic techniques for creating them, explore which poems are most suitable for poetry film, and discuss how to identify the right platform to create your own.
