Sound & Fury: writing the poetry of protest

A reading and writing workshop examining the poetry of protest. How can we use poetry to raise our voices in anger? And how can we best make ourselves heard - with a scream or a still, small voice? Examining work by poets from
Harold Pinter to Jo Shapcott, the workshop will lead you towards a first draft of your own new poem. Come with something to protest against.
