LGBT writers have always pushed the boundaries - the erotic, the surreal, the political. Through a mix of reading, discussion and curated writing exercises, you will explore your own poetic voice, push your writing technique and leave with at least 2 new poems, guided by  professional poet and facilitator, Toby Campion. Stay for a glass of wine after the workshop and get to know your fellow poets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(218, 41, 28);\"\u003eSuitable for everyone: from complete beginners to experienced writers.
