Wipe off your monocle, have your glass armonica tuned, move the tomatoes into the greenhouse, and smash the glass ceiling with Judy Brown.

This Poetry School workshop will look at what poets have made of glass over the years; exploring its transparency, impermeability, fragility, and capacity to return and distort to see how, like many everyday substances, glass has been a fruitful resource for poets.

Over the day participants will read work by poets including Greta Stoddart, Martha Sprackland, Sylvia Plath, Michael Ondaatje and Tracy K Smith, amongst others.
