Writing Your Losses
Loss is part of our lives from the moment we are born. Some losses are inevitable, many are welcome, some tear us apart. Each is unique yet universal. Loss has inspired the world’s greatest literature. We will look at different approaches to writing about loss, illustrated in the work of poets from John Clare to Christopher Reid, Jackie Kay,
Kate Clanchy, and many others. Exercises which look at loss from a range of perspectives will be offered to stimulate writing both in the session and afterwards. Celebration and humour have a place alongside sadness, the global alongside the personal. Not a therapeutic course, but exploring the essence of being human.
