welcome
from Coffee-House Poetry organiser, Anne-Marie Fyfe
Virginia Woolf finding an excuse: when the desire comes upon us to go street rambling the pencil does for a pretext, and getting up we say, ‘Really I must buy a pencil’, as if under cover of this excuse we could indulge safely in the greatest pleasure of town life — rambling…
But with the tang of spring in the air & Taking a Walk (see full course details right) starting with a first send-out on Sunday 12th April, as a writer you’ll need no excuse for town or country ambling & rambling, meandering & flaneuring, real & imaginary, as you’ll have seven weeks’ worth of incentives, encouragement & tasks to indulge your wanderlust & explore the poetic potential of remembered, revisited, invented & actual footfall!
Plus a new #BetweenTheLines starting 8th May, check out Cahal Dallat’s stimulating 7-wk masterclass on our classes page.
Email coffpoetry@aol.com to sign up now for seven inspiring weeks exploring the myth & magic, energy & excitement, of the ‘everyday’ world of walking!
