Join Jean G-Owen for a lively workshop inspired by the Isle of Wight Biosphere and the landscapes of Ryde. Experiment with short poetic forms including monostich, postcard- and micro-poetry, discovering how a few chosen words can evoke an entire place. We’ll take a gentle walk down to Ryde seafront, using the island’s coastline, atmosphere and natural environment as inspiration.  

Lunch is included in the ticket price, so you can enjoy a burger while writing, chatting and sharing work.

Bring a notebook, pens, comfortable shoes and enthusiasm. Open to beginners, seasoned writers and anyone curious about poetry and place.
