Poetry workshop with Helen Boden
Poetry workshop with Helen Boden
Need help?
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.
