Developing as a Poet with Joey Connolly

Producing striking images and carefully-honed sentences is one thing, but finding a way to move from the notebook to the printed page can seem a whole other ballgame. The journey can seem daunting, but there are established routes – as well as elements of craft, editing and motivation – to help us get there. This three-hour workshop will focus on these aspects of the journey from writing for ourselves to finding readers and becoming poets out in the world.

Joey Connolly grew up in Sheffield, studied in Manchester and now works in London as the Director of Faber Academy. He received an Eric Gregory award in 2012, and his first collection, Long Pass, was published by Carcanet in 2017. The Recycling was published in 2023 and was a Telegraph Poetry Book of the Year.
