Are you secretly in love with poetry?  

Do you find that words touch something within you that you can only otherwise faintly sense is there?

This workshop with Australian poet Richard James Allen will examine poetry as a heightened state of sensitivity, an alternate position of consciousness, perhaps even the music of the soul - if we are willing to surrender to it.

Richard James Allen’s poetry has appeared widely in journals, anthologies, and online, and he has been a popular reader at multiple performing arts venues, over many years. Books include: More Lies (Interactive Press, 2021), The short story of you and I (UWAP, 2019), Fixing the Broken Nightingale (Flying Island Books, 2014), The Kamikaze Mind (Brandl & Schlesinger, 2006) and Thursday’s Fictions (Five Islands Press, 1999), shortlisted for the Kenneth Slessor Prize for Poetry. Richard is well-known for his multi-award-winning career as a filmmaker and choreographer with The Physical TV Company and as a performer in a range of media and contexts.
