Poetry Workshops – length: one hour

• 11.45am – 12.45pm - Workshop 1

• 3pm -4pm Workshop 2

These workshops will run three times during the day therefore you may be requested to repeat your session, dependent on the range of proposals we receive. One presenter per workshop will be entitled to free entry to the conference. NATE relies on volunteers therefore we are unable to pay a fee or expenses.
