Part of: Somali Showcase: October 2024 Polylingual Poetry Workshop with Zahra @ Off the Shelf (online)

Online

Did you know that 36% of the UK population has access to more than one language? This workshop will invite you to use your many tongues, dialects, accents and registers to shape your poetry. You can examine code-switching, family lingo and the many ways that languages have shaped you.

Prize-winning poet Zahra will guide you to explore the joys and shames associated with being a multilingual writer. And you will leave with a few new polylingual poems under your belt.

No writing experience necessary.
