…The earthquake caught you,

and you ran

crazedly,

you broke your fingernails.

The waters and the stones

the sidewalks,

the sea,

the night,

all were shaken…

from Valparaíso – Pablo Neruda

A new five-week live, interactive online course, writing our way through this time of continuing uncertainty and change.

In a small group (max 14 people), we’ll take inspiration from poetry and stories from around the world. Themes will include beginnings, change, uncertainty, curiosity and surprise. With writing time on-screen and off-screen, we’ll find connection, reflection and a place to share our work with others.

No prior writing experience is necessary. You can be writing in any genre.
