In this cosy and inspiring workshop, we’ll be exploring food in poetry as a conduit for memory, unlocking emotional responses by looking at the way we cook and eat. With a range of contemporary poems on food to whet your appetite, there will be a selection of prompts and writing exercises to help you gather ideas and get started on several new poems. Suitable for writers of all levels - snacks encouraged!
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 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.
