Led by poet Zelda Cahill-Patten, Matthew Lanyon’s own poems will be the jumping off point in this writing workshop – including pieces from the archive that have never been seen before! We’ll follow in Matthew’s footsteps, generating new work with playful prompts and writing games.

Zelda Cahill-Patten lives and works in London. Her poems have been published or are forthcoming in Magma, Sheila-Na-Gig and Ink Sweat & Tears. She has been awarded the Lord Alfred Douglas Memorial Prize (University of Oxford, for poetry in strict rhyming metre) and the Gertrude Hartley Poetry Prize (Balliol College). She studied English Literature at university, and wrote her undergraduate thesis on the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins.
