Playing with Poetry Masterclass: Poetry of the Absurd

This event has now finished.
In times of political, social, or personal upheaval, poetry can be a lifeline—a way to respond to events that feel impossible to process. Sometimes it offers clarity; other times, it mirrors the chaos with humour and strangeness.
In this workshop, we’ll dive into the ridiculous, the bizarre, and the incomprehensible—and explore how poets turn absurdity into art. From sly, indirect critiques of authoritarianism to everyday frustrations blown up to comic extremes, you’ll discover how exaggeration and surrealism can reveal deeper truths.
Then it’s your turn: create your own absurd poems, share them in a supportive space, and get feedback to help your ideas flourish.
No experience needed. Whether you’re picking up a pen for the first time or you’re a seasoned writer, this is a chance to create something new in a relaxed, supportive space.
