RABBIT WORKSHOPS

Rabbit: A Nonfiction Poetry Workshop no. 1: History/Biography

During 2025 and 2026, Rabbit will be offering a suite of free online workshops for poets to explore, develop and refine their 'nonfiction poetry' skills. The first of these workshops will be themed 'History/Biography' and run by Rabbit editor Jessica Wilkinson on FRIDAY 11th APRIL, 1pm-4pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time).

In this workshop we will:
- discuss a range of poems that are historical and/or biographical
- explore approaches to writing poems that draw on historical/biographical information
- do writing exercises to initiate the writing of such poems

Participants will also have the opportunity to send one poem to the facilitator after the workshop for some light feedback.

As places are limited to 20, we ask that you submit the following as your Expression of Interest via this link:
1. A statement of 100 words or less telling us why you want to take this workshop and what you hope to get out of it
2. A bio of 50 words or less, telling us about yourself as a writer

DEADLINE for EOI: 17 March 2025

We will notify applicants within two weeks of the closing deadline.
