Part of Stamford Verse Festvial
Join professional poet Ash Dickinson (‘Impressive wordplay’ – The Times, ‘Clever and funny’ – The Scotsman) for a workshop designed in bringing your work to life. Poetry as a live and aloud force. There will be opportunity to write, opportunity to read, opportunity to perform. For those who’d like to write poetry and share it, here’s an opportunity to transform.
Ash Dickinson has been full-time as a poet since 2008. He is a multiple slam champion, including Edinburgh, Cheltenham, the Museum of Scotland and BBC Radio. He has performed in Australia, Canada, USA, New Zealand, Spain, Jordan, Denmark, the Czech Republic and Germany, and headlined countless shows and festivals throughout the UK. Ash is in great demands to run writing workshops in schools, galleries, museums, prisons and with writing groups. His debut collection, ‘Slinky Espadrilles’, was the very first title published by Burning Eye Books. His second major collection, ‘Strange Keys’, came out in 2016. A collection for younger years, ‘Show Cats In Transit’, followed in 2019. His latest book, ‘Instructions For Outlaws’, was published in 2022.
