talks and workshops
Robbie’s talks and workshops involve the exploration of poetic voice and using poetry as a means of expression, and in turn, healing. Balancing raw emotion with the study of poetic craft, workshops involve both the reading and discussion of poems and hands-on writing exercises. This allows participants to remove constraints and self-consciousness and embrace poetic practice and creativity.
Robbie’s talks and workshops are best suited for ages 14 and up and cater to both beginners and proficient poets.
