Come take a walk on the wild side in this new poetry workshop with Jen Feroze. We’ll be examining creaturely poems from a range of contemporary writers, with lots of prompts to get you drafting your own poetic animal encounters.
Gentle and generative, all levels are welcome; if this is your first poetry workshop, wonderful, if this is your 3rd poetry workshop this month you will be inspired to write more poems!
Numbers limited to 16
Fee: £30
Places are limited and go fast so early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
Jen Feroze has just won first prize in the Charles Causley International Poetry Competion ✨ With her moving poem “You are strapping your toddler into the car seat”.
She lives by the sea in Essex.
Her poetry has appeared in publications including Poetry Wales, Magma, Under the Radar, Butcher's Dog, Black Iris, The Interpreter's House, And Other Poems and The Alchemy Spoon. She has published two pamphlets - Tiny Bright Thorns and A Dress With Deep Pockets, the latter of which won the 2024 Poetry Business International Book & Pamphlet Competition.
She won the 2025 Black Cat Poetry Press Competition, was highly commended in the 2025 Ware Poets Prize, commended in the 2025 Winchester Poetry Prize and shortlisted in the 2025 Live Canon International Poetry Prize.
