Poetic Education • 2022-06-20, 1:30 PM
A poetry workshop on themes of silence and presence. Jamaican-British poet, poetry communicator, and climate activist Raymond Antrobus describes himself as an “investigator of missing sounds;” his poems bring new sounds to our relationship with nature and climate – as well as to the relationship between hearing and deaf people. No prior knowledge is required.
The workshop will be held in English.
