This workshop will be held in a supportive space where you can unleash your love of poetry and is especially tailored to blind and partially sighted people. You’ll awaken your imagination as we encounter different creative prompts together and discuss techniques to kick-start new poems. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore the technique of collage poetry using 3D printed fragments of Braille and provide feedback on its potential use in transcribing future poems.
Bebe Ashley lives in Belfast. Her work is most recently published in bath magg, Poetry Ireland Review, and Modern Poetry in Translation. Her debut collection Gold Light Shining was published by Banshee Press.
