Join the Trowbridge Stanza for a feedback workshop, allowing members to bring poems they are working on for comments and ideas from others.

Join the Trowbridge Stanza on Saturday 3 October at 2pm for a feedback workshop, allowing members to bring poems they are working on for comments and ideas from others.

To allow enough time for discussion on each poem, unfortunately only 12 people will be able to receive feedback but more are welcome to attend.

Giving thoughts on others' poems is a great way of improving critical thinking around your own writing - and around life in general!

If you'd like to bring a poem, please email Nina Parmenter at ninaparmenter@hotmail.co.uk. Nina will then let you know if a spot is still available. Please then email Nina your poem (max 30 lines) by Sunday 27th September. Nina will then circulate the poems to all participants to give everyone a chance to ponder the poems before the session. Do also make sure you book and pay for your place here.

If you sign up for this session, you must be prepared to join in as an active and supportive participant:

Please tead the poems in advance of the workshop and jot down your thoughts.

Contribute to the session with feedback on some of the poems.

Give, and receive, both feedback on what you enjoy about the poems, and constructive suggestions for improvement!

The session should be a creative exchange of ideas, so it's probably a good idea to send in a poem which you feel could do with a good shake-up (but you're not quite sure how!)

For this type of session in particular, we ask that all attendees have read the Poetry Society code of conduct for stanzas (https://poetrysociety.org.uk/membership/poetry-society-stanzas/memorandum-of-understanding/).

We look forward to reading your work 🙂Note: We will assume that all participants will be able to print out the set of poems or bring them along on a device. However, if you are unable to do so, please just let Nina know by email.
