Jo Bell brings her dynamic teaching style to Moniack Mhor with a day based on her award-winning global workshop group, the 52 project. Using plentiful exercises, examples of others’ poetry and with lots of time for discussion, this event will concentrate on universal techniques for improving your work and on generating lots of new poems, rather than on reading around as we go. A friendly, instructive and productive day.
Jo Bell is described by Carol Ann Duffy as ‘one of the most exciting poets now writing.’ Her awards include the Charles Causley Prize and the Manchester Cathedral Prize. Formerly director of National Poetry Day and the UK’s first Canal Laureate, she works across the UK. In her writing she aims for an absolutely unsentimental tenderness, and her teaching is marked by a ‘robust kindness’. Her global workshop project 52 won a Saboteur Award in 2015.
