The Art of Word Sketching

As part of the Boyne Music Festival’s workshop day, the festival invites adults to meet resident poet Jennifer Horgan for an afternoon writing workshop. Jennifer will take participants on a walk around Townley Hall’s grounds to take notice of details, and lead exercises in writing responses to the discoveries found outside.

Poems at once tender and profoundly alienated, elegiac and acerbic, rooted in a life intensely lived, they are determined to anatomise, rarefy and dignify the ordinary devastation of everyday life.
— William Wall on Jennifer Horgan's collection 'Care'
