Ghazal Writing Workshop

Sold Out

Description

The ghazal is an ancient form of poem originating from the Arabian peninsula and rooted in South Asia and Persia. As a poetic form, it continues to enchant and beguile people today.

It’s characterised by its profound expressions of love, loss and longing, and for posing deep metaphysical questions. For centuries, writers have poured their emotions into this elegant and passionate art form – and now you can do the same.

In this group workshop, led by author, poet and translator Aviva Dautch, you will come together with fellow literature lovers and discover how the ghazal spread across continents, why it is enjoying a revival and precisely how you could write one for yourself.
