I Hate Poetry – Fiona Sinclair

6:00pm - 7:00pm

Many of us have an aversion to poetry, largely because of bad experiences at school. Fiona Sinclair’s talk is designed to convince you otherwise, dispelling the belief that poetry is written for and by, an intellectual elite. Who knows you may even leave wanting to write it…

Fiona Sinclair’s work has appeared in numerous publications. Her second pamphlet ‘A Game of Hide and Seek’ is published by Indigo Dream Press. She is the editor of the online poetry magazine, ‘Message in a Bottle’.
