Poetry in the Park: Structure & Form

Join the Poet in Residence, Erica Jane Morris, in the Poetry in the Park series, to investigate how form can be used in poetry by reading and talking through example forms, such as a sonnet, abecedarian or cento.

Participants will be encouraged to write a poem employing a particular form.

• Date: Friday 20 August 2027
• Time: 10am - 12pm
• Location: This workshop will begin near the Cave sculpture, located close to the MK Rose. What3words location: ///inviting.sounding.uncle.

The workshops are open to adults aged 18+ who are interested in poetry, from complete beginners to more experienced writers, particularly those wishing to explore connections between poetry, nature, local art, and heritage.

This two-hour workshop will provide materials and guidance to help participants develop their poetry. Participants will be encouraged to refine their work, take part in the Poetry from the Park readings event in November 2027, and submit poems to the Raising Voices project, which celebrates responses to places across Milton Keynes.

Please note, all tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. Tickets cost £5 per person.
