Poems are like PE lessons: the best ones are when you can just run around. Join Lewis Buxton for a quickfire workshop about how to find the fun in poetry. He’ll give you writing exercises, work out any problems you have with poetry, and help you grow healthy poems. This workshop is roughly 50minutes including writing time. If you’re short of time skip to 9:00 to start the first writing activity.
