Covert 6 workshop – Let the waters pour over you with Roy McFarlane FRSL

Exploring the spirituality and the sensuality of waters. Getting caught in the rain, found under a waterfall, or hands that have moved like waters.  Also exploring the powerful metaphors, symbolism and lyrical liquidity of words to pour our passion onto the page. Dipping into the pool of great writers, including Pablo Neruda, Harriet Jacobs, Natalie Diaz, Gregory Porter, and many more.
