There will be a break for exploration of the territory (or room). Later, participants will unravel assumptions about walking. Who can roam? Here contemporary poets voicing different bodies in different walking modes (disabled, racialised, classed, female, non-binary, domestic, migratory) become pilgrims, mappers or guides: Polly Atkin, Cathy Dreyer, Harry Josephine Giles, Zaffar Kunial, Kei Miller, Shara McCallum. 

Students will come away with a liberatory and renewed definition of access to authorship and ‘psychogeography’. Using a variety of strategies to activate the field of the page as a space for dance, resistance, pursuit, fleeing, creative failure and ambitious joy, they will create a new piece of poetic writing.
