‘Poetry makes you laugh, cry, prickle, be silent, makes your toenails twinkle,’ said Dylan Thomas.  In their workshops, Liz and Ron will help you get in touch with your imagination and give it a voice to create poems that do all these things. There will be writing, reading, feedback, discussion, and there will be fun!

Liz Lochhead is Scotland’s National Poet Laureate.  Her collections include Frankenstein & Other Poems, and The Colour of Black and White.  She is also a prolific playwright and monologue writer and performer.

Ron Butlin is a former Edinburgh Makar with an international reputation as a prize-winning novelist. His work has won many prizes and been translated into over a dozen languages. His most recent collection, The Magicians of Edinburgh, is now in its sixth printing.
