At the extraordinary time of 11.00 pm this evening (or 10.00 am Saturday, if you are in Melbourne, Australia) I’ll be leading a writing workshop with young people from the Melbourne area. I’ll be introducing them to ideas about how they can use digitised materials including artefacts and photographs from the State Library Victoria collections to inspire their writing.
You don’t have to be in Victoria to access these materials. If you or young people in your family would like to explore them and try out some of my writing ideas please click on the link here to download the resource below.
Sue Dymoke was a poet, Associate Professor in Education at Nottingham Trent University and a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts. What They Left Behind, her third full poetry collection was published by Shoestring Press in 2018. A posthumous collection, What to do Next, was published by Shoestring Press in 2023, when there was a memorial celebration of her life in University Hall, Nottingham. Sue's memorial video can be seen at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UDDSW_HOEc&t=60s This website is maintained in her memory by her civil partner, David Belbin, but will not be updated.
