In this workshop we look at the art of revising myths through poetry. Explore the work and approach of other poets such as Fiona Benson, Jericho Brown, Leila Chatti, and more. Learn to excavate and scrutinise the mytho-poetics of our daily life, find myth in historical and mundane objects, and use them to illuminate the energy and heart of our poems. You do not need to have full knowledge of your myths, just be willing to be surprised!
