Poetry workshop

The workshop takes place at The LSI Building in Bridport on Saturday 9th April from 10am, and is for young writers aged between 13 and 18 years.

We will be creating poems on the theme of ‘adaptation’ to be filmed and presented before the features of this years ‘From Page to Screen’ film festival. We are excited to have the workshop led by Anthony Anaxagorou.

Anthony Anaxagorou is a British-born Cypriot poet, fiction writer, essayist, publisher and poetry educator. His poetry has been published in POETRY, The Poetry Review, Poetry London, New Statesman, Granta, and elsewhere. His work has also appeared on BBC Newsnight, BBC Radio 4, ITV, Vice UK, Channel 4 and Sky Arts.

His second collection After the Formalities published with Penned in the Margins is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation and was shortlisted for the 2019 T.S Eliot Prize along with the 2021 Ledbury Munthe Poetry Prize for Second Collections. It was also a Telegraph and Guardian poetry book of the year.

You can request a space on the form below, and we will announce the final places the week before the event, as we will be giving priority to any writers from under resourced backgrounds.
