African Writers Abroad All Change

All Change is about changing minds, attitudes and lifestyle. Two poets from African Writers Abroad (PEN) Centre, Simon Murray and Dorothea Smartt share ideas and encourage you to share yours, to produce stimulating and thought provoking poetry and prose on ‘C’ topics - from climate to cars, colonial to corporations.

Full Circle: Poetry workshop - led by Dorothea Smartt, African Writers Abroad 

Using visual images and other eco-poems as inspiration, together with a mix of writing exercises, and group discussion we’ll develop and draft poems exploring the power of poetry to give voice to our environmental destruction and efforts towards ecological balance. Participants will get the opportunity to read their writing at the evening event, No Condition is Permanent..

“Poetry is a political action undertaken for the sake of information, the faith, the exorcism, and the lyrical invention, that telling the truth makes possible.”
June Jordan’s Poetry For The People
