Gay Writes: Poetry Workshop | LGBTQ+ History Month

Forum Seminar Room 8

Exeter

About

*Ticket Required* This LGBTQ+ History month, join local spoken-word poet Chris White for a fun & empowering poetry writing workshop for queer writers, artists, and anyone who wants to give it a go. We’ll write our own Queer histories, and get creative with a series of slightly silly prompts and some serious writing exercises, gathering inspiration from our lives, each other and some contemporary LGBTQ+ poets. Come along and get creative in a supportive and friendly space. There will also be a chance to share your work and get feedback. LIMITED SPACES - please make sure you have a ticket. About Chris Chris is a poet, performer & 'submerging artist' festering in Exeter. He's performed his work at festivals & events from Tongue Fu to Latitude, is a multiple slam winner, a former 'Bard of Exeter,' and the first Riddler in Residence at Exeter Cathedral. He also runs the poetry night 'Spork!' in Exeter, and regularly facilitates workshops in schools and community spaces. In his silly, surreal way he often talks about queerness, identity & ducks. There is wheelchair access. There is also an accessible toilet and blue badge parking. This is not a hearing loop, a BSL interpreter, or a designated quiet space. If you have any questions about this event, please get in touch by dropping us a message on social media or emailing us via [email protected].
