Jo Bell Workshop - Curses, cures and wills

Hayley Frances

Tues, 12th Nov, 19:00

Inhabit a different persona, allow yourself to be wicked, and use these ancient structures to make bright new poems.

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 19:00 - 21:00 GMT



The familiar formula of a recipe, the detailed record of a will, the permission to be vile granted by a Roman curse - old documents give us all sorts of opportunities. Inhabit a different persona, allow yourself to be wicked, and use these ancient structures to make bright new poems.
