Found Poetry Workshop with Dorothy Alexander


Take a Walk on the Wild Side of Writing!


Monday 6th February
1-4pm (reading 3pm)

Crichton Campus, Dumfries(Drama Studio, Rutherford McCowan Building)

Macallan prizewinning writer Dorothy Alexander presents an innovative workshop designed to unleash your creativity, followed by a reading from her own work.

‘Found poetry – the rearrangement of words
from other sources to create new meanings…’

Bring along a book, magazine or other printed material (doesn’t need to be literary!) and prepare for a fun and stimulating session.


Dorothy Alexander is passionate about poetry. She holds an MLitt in Creative Writing from Glasgow University and is currently writing a PhD focusing on poetics. Her PhD project involves devising experimental poetic techniques to transform her own prose fiction into poetry.

Open to all with an interest in exploring their wilder writing side – not just poets!
