Polly Atkin (Workshop)

In her book Conversations with Birds Priyanka Kumar writes 'Birds are my almanac: they tune me into the seasons, and to myself.’  In this workshop we will explore writing with, to and about birds, drawing on poetry and prose which addresses birds in different ways, from capturing their song in words to trying to make sense of our own lives through them. 

There will be a 15 minute break during the workshop
