The 8x8 Wordbox Workshop returns — 8-week online poetry workshopping groups for emerging writers, to read, discuss and receive feedback on their work.

Led by award-winning poet Angela T. Carr, the Zoom sessions will give participants the opportunity to present new work each week, using a tried-and-tested workshopping format developed from the teachings of lateral thinker Edward de Bono.

Together, the group will:

  • Identify the themes at work in each poem and discuss how to clarify and amplify these ideas for maximum impact,

  • Examine the structural elements of the poem and identify opportunities to strengthen its language and construction,

  • Examine the poem from the perspective of a reader and/or editor, to identify edits and/or missing information.

Suitable for emerging/intermediate writers sending poems to journals and/or competitions, who want to improve the quality of their work.

Max. 6no. writers per workshop group.

Evening and weekend groups available - select option below.

Participants are required to submit work in advance of the weekly session and each poem will receive between 20-30 minutes of the group’s time.

The 8x8 Wordbox Workshop is designed as a follow-on to Writing Slant: Making a Poem, a six-week taught programme taking a deep-dive into the tricks and techniques of editing poetry for publication.
