Workshop with JLM Morton for the Cheltenham Poetry Festival
Albion has existed in the British imagination for centuries as a green and pleasant land of tall ships and hay wains, white cliffs and country houses. Nowhere has this narrative been more cherished than in the Cotswolds; but it is a vision that has long been contested. In this poetry workshop, you will write poems inspired by contemporary folk and outsider artists, writers and performers and forge fresh takes in the writing of Albion.
