Event details

‘No ideas but in things,’ declared the American poet William Carlos Williams. In this writing workshop, you’ll experiment with ways of interpreting that famous mantra, exploring new ways of bringing objects into words.

Led by JT Welsch, a poet and lecturer at the University of York, you’ll scribble through some ‘thing theory’ and the ‘thingy-ness’ of words themselves. Just bring something to write with, a favourite object, and an openness to new things!
