Polylingual Poetry Workshop with Fathima Zahra

This workshop will invite participants to use many tongues, dialects, accents and registers to shape their poetry. The workshop will explore code-switching, family lingo and the many ways that languages have shaped our lives.

Prize-winning poet Fathima Zahra will guide participants in exploring the joys and shames associated with being a multilingual writer. No writing experience is necessary.

This event is supported by Arts Council England as part of the Poetry Translation Centre’s 20th birthday activity, and is part of Off the Shelf Festival in Sheffield.
