Poetry Workshop with Lakshmi Kanchi
Friday 23rd June, 10am – 12pm
In this workshop, we’ll observe, mimic, and reimagine the movements in nature, especially looking at the stunning flora and fauna found within our southwestern forests, and capture them with our words. She will share some lovely examples that have the wind of flight and movement clearly observable in their choice of words and phrases. And together we’ll transport ourselves into forest territory and recreate the poetry of Karri with pen on paper.
Lakshmi is an emerging Western Australian poet of Indian descent. She is a Centre for Stories fellow and she is also the current Poet-in-Residence at The Wetlands Centre in Cockburn. Her published works appear in—”Social Alternatives”, “Portside Review”, “Burrow Journal”, “The Saltbush Review” and more.
