Exploring Gender and the Body: Poetry Workshop

Part of Leeds Lit Fest 2026. See the full programme at https://www.leedslitfest.co.uk/

Brought to you by Zineophilia, Exploring Gender and the Body is an event open to all levels of experience in writing poetry - including none at all! 

We will collectively explore poems related in some shape or form to gender and bodies, and invite participants to construct pieces of their own through structured activities. These will enable thought on the relationships between bodies and the world, as well as bodies and one's inner self.

There will be an option to share these poems within a zine to showcase our varied responses to the prompts.
