SUMMARY:The Shape of Poetry workshop
DESCRIPTION:Many of us feel intimidated by formal poetry: Some of us consider it too restrictive and governed by rules\, while others write exclusively in form. This workshop is an invitation to all writers of poetry\, whether you’re just starting out or have been writing for years\, to explore the creative potential of poetic forms. \nOur monthly sessions happen on the second Saturday of the month from 1pm til 2.30pm in The Community Works. During each of our workshops\, we will look at the conventions of a particular form such as the sonnet\, ghazal\, or haiku\, read example poems\, and write our own versions. This workshop will be a collaborative space for us to explore how experimenting with limitations or restrictions in our writing can give us whole new ways of expressing ourselves\, and open unexpected doors! \n\n\nAll you need to bring is yourself – pens and paper will be supplied. The workshop is open to anyone aged 16+.\n\nAttendance is free\, but please do register in advance here to let us know you’re coming.\n\nThe Oxford Poetry Library is an accessible space but please do contact us in advance if you have specific requirements. You can email us about this or with any questions about the workshop at oxfordpoetrylibary@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Saudha International Literature Festival showcase
DESCRIPTION:Join OPL and Saudha for an afternoon of poetry\, art\, and expression! \nOn September 9th\, from 3pm til 6pm at The Community Works we will be collaborating with Saudha Society of Poetry and Indian Music for a free afternoon of creativity. This festival preaches the art and beauty of imagination\, languages from different cultural heritages through talks\, reading\, and performances. \nSaudha brings new literature from different languages and different cultural heritages through this unique festival happening all around the UK. \nCurated by poet Ahmed Kaysher\, in collaboration with Oxford Poetry Library and Oxford-based literary magazine La Ninfa Eco\, this afternoon will feature haunting spoken-word performances from medieval and pre-medieval manuscripts of different languages (with English translation)\, brief poetry-theatres (theatrical presentations of poetry)\, readings by contemporary poets from different cultural heritages (with English translation)\, and talks on new literature and new movements. \nSaudha Society of Poetry and Indian Music is a leading platform for South Asian as well other global classical arts. Saudha is critically acclaimed for its series of experimental productions merging poetry\, music and painting seamlessly so that each can complement each other. Saudha has attracted a diverse source of audiences from all different heritages through its series of presentations of mingling and bridging different arts from different corners of the world as the way of interpreting each other. \nThe event is free but please register here so we know you’re coming!  \n\n\nAbout Saudha\nSaudha’s production Frida Kahlo Through Indian Classical Music at the Royal Albert Hall has been highly praised by prominent ethno-musicologists\, music and literature connoisseurs of the city and beyond. Saudha’s Lyrics of Love at the SouthBank Centre and at Edinburgh Fringe\, Chayanaut through Sebastian Bach at the House of Commons\, Taste of Twilight at ICCR\, Kolkata and the Welsh Parliament were critically acclaimed by major media and musicologists.\nDuring the pandemic\, Saudha took the historic initiative to connect leading musicians\, writers\, poets\, painters and filmmakers from all across the world through virtual platforms\, an initiative hugely appreciated by the international audiences.
