Ilse Pedler, Hilary Watson and Alice Willitts: Thrutopia: Writing the Future

So much current ecopoetry focuses on destruction and despair. In this workshop, we’ll introduce the concept of thrutopia and a way of writing about a future that is thriving, desirable and possible. We’ll lead a series of exercises and prompts to activate curiosity, exercise the imagination and show how thrutopian poems can guide transformation.
