Creative Writing Workshop with Catherine O'Flynn
The Lord Mayor's Suite - The Council House, Birmingham.
My Own Private Birmingham - an elegy for the overlooked. Creative Writing Workshop with Catherine O'Flynn We all have our own personal inventory of the city's oblique charms - the bench overlooking the dual carriageway, the island in the middle of the pond, the pedestrian walkway to nowhere, the hidden pigeon enclave. Join Catherine O'Flynn in sharing and documenting your own idiosyncratic selection of Birmingham's delights. Participants will explore ways of conveying the magic of place in writing whilst looking out for common themes and unexpected wonders.
