In my last post I wrote about the book I have coming out on 20th March with Dialect Press; a collaboration with fellow thrutopian poets Alice Willitts and Hilary Watson. It spent a long time without a name as nothing seemed just right but I’m pleased to say it has finally been christened ‘We’ll Meet You There’ a perfect name for our exploration of a future that is desirable and possible. We are organising a series of readings to launch it and if anyone knows of places that might be interested in hearing us, please let me know.
We are also running a workshop for Dialect called Writing the Future. It’s a three week course, with two live teaching/feedback sessions and an on line study pack to download with lots of additional information and writing prompts. If you are curious about Thrutopia or simply want to find different ways to write about the planet and its future that aren’t stuck in dystopian doom scrolling, come and join us. Make this the year where you change narratives and make a positive difference. https://www.dialect.org.uk/coursesworkshops/writing-the-future
