Water Water everywhere! Poetry Workshop with Cath Drake
About
Explore the essential element of water – from wetlands, wells, rain, floods, tears… water is ubiquitous, transformative, constantly changing, illusive. It makes up 60% of our bodies. It’s a connector, a life-giver, a place-maker, a symbol of emotion, an agent of danger or rejuvenation – and it deserves reverence.We’ll immerse in poems about water, the gorgeous environment at the wetlands centre and go with the flow in writing our own pieces about the wonders of water.
Cath Drake is from Perth, and now lives in London, UK. The Shaking City (Seren Books, 2020), highly commended in the UK Forward Prize and longlisted in international Laurel Prize, followed 'Sleeping with Rivers', a Poetry Book Society choice & winner of the Seren/Mslexia pamphlet prize. Cath worked for a decade as an environmental writer in Perth in the 1990s which included several projects related to the Beeliar Wetlands.
