Back In Motion for 2026 - The New Spring Programme.

Happy 2026!! 

I hope the new year has been excellent. 

I’m over the moon to announce the program for the Spring Season. It begins on the Tuesday 24th March, and every third Tuesday of the month we have an activity based on the theme of movement. 

It's winter in the UK. It's also February! What seems like the frozen stillness of the Winter months, March fast approaches and Spring invites us to move things out of the way for new growth. We want our poetry to take up a little bit more space to breathe and bridge: between what we were last year as writers to what we want to become.

Poets Built It Critique Club
We begin with Critique Club and the opportunity to meet new and classic poets and their work based on the merit and love of the craft of writing poetry.

It will be poetry under the the microscope, learning from the teeming life of technique, form and non-formulaic writing that is free and which liberates your own writing practice for the next following few weeks. Where we will look at poems that have shaken the foundation of the various eras of poetry movements across time. 

Writer’s Building Block
You can join me for the updated version and the mind-blowing, myth-busting excursion through the rocky terrain of the Writer's Block - the imagined and the actuality - and rejoin your writing practice with a new outlook. 

Archive Activation
Ever wanted to know what the poetry scene was like before the 1990's? We'll be speaking with many old world poets and spoken word artists about their experiences and the cultural landscape of being a poet before the new millenium. 

I hope you can join us for the next 3 months as we return after a pause, and reactivate the community as a living and moving space.

I look forward to building with you!
