Workshop with Marjan Mossammaparast
Published poet Marjan Mossammaparast ran a one hour poetry workshop, giving students the opportunity to read poetry, write poetry and contemplate a bowl of fruits! Students left with a stamped postcard to send to a recipient of their choice.
Book folding and black out poetry
To celebrate International Poetry Day, the English and Art Faculties collaborated to run a lunchtime workshop in the library. Students folded the pages of old books to create book sculptures, and took black textas to torn-out pages in order to create their own poems out of other people’s words.
The students did a wonderful job and their awesome work is on display in the library!
Poetry all around
