Learn how to write a contrapuntal poem – a poem that tells two stories side by side.

This workshop is for adults who already write poetry and want to build their skills.

You’ll learn how to write a poem using 2 voices or ideas side by side.

You will:

  • explore the poetry form with poet Rick Sanders
  • read examples and learn how the form works
  • write your own poem with support and guidance
  • need to arrive 10 minutes early – the Hive closes at 3.30pm

You can also come back in the evening for Verve Open Door – a free open mic event where you can listen or share your own poem.
