CONVERSATION WORKSHOPS
& POETRY READINGS
Having A New Conversation – About …
The extra dimension poetry brings, becomes as much valued
for itself as for what it contributes to the conversation in these facilitated
workshops. It brings new perspective to the topic and a holding ground for the
discussion, with the added benefit of providing a way into discovering poetry -
or a way into further enjoying it with others.
No previous experience of poetry, or the topic under
discussion, is needed. About - Faith,
for those of any, or no, religion and About
- Continuing in Confusion; About - Beauty & its
Possible Obligations;
About – the Stuff of Life
and About Love, Loss
or Death are other possible topics. Having
a new Conversation – About Dreaming was the topic at the Cuirt
International Festival of Literature in 2015.

Fear Knot
Susan Lindsay’s poems are sometimes
enigmatic, often startling. She is a poet acutely aware of the complexities of
language, the levels of meaning a poem can have. When I read one of Susan
Lindsay’s poems for the second time I always discover something quietly
subversive lurking there which I missed first time around. Fear Knot is a
daring collection of poems. A triumph.- Kevin Higgins
Whispering the
Secrets
The voice of
experience wrought in lines that are lucid and direct…. this testimony of a
survivor is suffused with joy and passion and a clear eyed appraisal of what it
means to be mortal. - Paula
Meehan
…a book of
courage and resolve. She writes of the “Fifth Province”, of confrontations and
renewals, of dreams and shifting identities. … Lindsay writes poems of deep
emotional control which communicate an affirmative celebratory mysticism. – Paul Perry
That was
gorgeous. Beautiful writing. –
