Whether we’re feeling the weight of traumatic world events or experiencing grief from personal loss, there are times even words feel inadequate. How can poetry help? Like the power of a good cry, pouring our messy and overwhelming emotions into the poetry of lament offers both release and distance, giving us a safe way to explore, process, and move further along the path to healing. We’ll practise a simple approach to writing poetic lament; no experience with poetry necessary. Workshop includes writing time.
