February 2020

Our meeting on 5th February was in the form of a workshop presented by Emma Purshouse, City of Wolverhampton Poet Laureate. It was well attended by our members, who, I am sure, all gained a new insight into descriptive writing, whether it be prose or poetry. The Poet laureate is very interested in performance poetry and her observations and guidance on everyone’s pieces of work were very astute and motivated by her enthusiasm and desire to enable everyone attending to be able to produce a piece of work that could be confidently performed to an audience. As a group we applaud her commitment to descriptive writing and say a big thank you for providing us with a very interesting and informative evening. Our next meeting on Wednesday 4th March 2020 will mainly be a presentation by one of our members “Richie.S.Moore” on “Social Media”but we have also been given a home project, by Karen. The subject is to be “The Fashion Victim”, with a maximum of 1000 words. We will review as many as pieces of work as possible at our meeting, dependant on the time available. Look forward to seeing you there. Eric Newton. Vice Chairman
