We will explore different ways to write and think about poetry through simple exercises, prompts and creative games. We will experiment with words, rhythm, imagery and performance, develop ideas into finished poems, and use examples of different poetry as inspiration. We will also discuss careers and working as a writer.

Tom Mallender is a poet, writer and creative facilitator whose work often explores archive material and lived experience.
He founded Write-London in 2014 and Naino joined the team in 2019. Since then, Write-London has worked with thousands of participants aged 4 to 107, encouraging creativity through poetry, storytelling and performance.
Tom’s work is rooted in helping people find confidence in their voice and making creativity feel open to everyone. His route into writing was far from straightforward, and that continues to shape the way he teaches, writes and works with others. He lives, writes and is always creating things in Fulham.
