Online Event / €45
Book NowHow to move the body onto the page? Join K Patrick for a workshop on the language(s) of intimacy. Translating that which so often resists translation, we will look at both the substance and style of authors and poets such as Robert Gluck, Fanny Howe, Violette Leduc and Reginald Shepherd to see how the body comes to be on the page.
This welcoming workshop is suitable for everyone from beginners to published authors looking to expand their craft into a new area.
