Poetry allows us to see the world in different ways, offering fresh perspectives on our own lives and the lives of others; human and more-than-human. Taking inspiration from the woodlands in Craigmillar Castle Park, Helen Boden will guide participants through a series of tree-inspired poetry exercises. No experience with poetry or other genre writing necessary.

Helen Boden is a poet and educator who has lived by the upper Braid Burn since 2010. Her first collection A Landscape To Figure In, a book about place and identity, was published by Red Squirrel Press in 2021. She also makes poetry in non-print formats for exhibitions and performance. As an independent Literature professional, she specialises in devising and delivering socially-engaged creative activities across a broad range of cultural, community and environmental settings, with particular interests in Writing for Wellbeing, ekphrastic poetry, and poetry walks.

Everyone is welcome. No prior experience necessary.

A collaboration between Art Walk Projects, Bridgend Farmhouse and Edinburgh & Lothians Greenspace Trust
