ESCAPING THE EGO @ 1 WEEK RESIDENTIAL COURSE @ THE GARSDALE RETREAT,
YORKSHIRE DALES
MONDAY 6 AUGUST (4PM) TO SATURDAY 11 AUGUST 2018 (10AM)
Join me and guest tutor Polly Atkin for this wonderful course in this amazing Yorkshire Dales setting:
Character Portraits – Escaping the Ego will focus upon constructing and depicting characters and personalities in poetry, using friends, family, lovers and strangers, objects and emotions, and most fundamentally, writing in the second and third person. This will inject verve and versatility into your writing, while sidestepping the inevitable trappings of purely autobiographical verse.
Hamish and Rebecca are the amazing hosts. Workshops take place in the wonderful music room/ converted stable where you may be treated to a performance by Hamish on the Baby Grand and Rebecca on the cello, both of whom are classically trained musicians. Added to this, Rebecca is an incredible chef, with homemade granola for breakfast, homemade biscuits for morning break and three course meals to die for.
Venue: Garsdale Retreat
