Writing the In-Between Spaces Workshop

Chain hotels, service stations, shopping centres, airports, waiting rooms – these places of ‘inbetweenness’ can make us feel both that we could be anywhere, and that we are nowhere. This workshop explores the poetry of liminal spaces: we will look at poems set in these places and discuss how they are working, as well as exploring prompts and exercises to write our own liminal space poems.
