THE LANGUAGE OF THINGS
with Stephen Keeler
Where: Macphail Centre, Ullapool
When: 9 week block commencing Tuesday 18/09/18, 25/09, 09/10, 16/10, 30/10, 13/11, 20/11, 27/11 & 11/12

THE LANGUAGE OF THINGS is designed to explore the significances and the meanings which grow out of the objects which furnish our lives.
We will write short and longer pieces of prose, and poems and will read and discuss our work in the group.
There will be a weekly written homework assignment.
Participants will be encouraged to write, and be supported in their writing, through constructive feedback, discussion and some formal teaching. We’ll use exemplary texts to help demonstrate composition, structure and style, and what is generally called ‘literature appreciation’.
If that sounds intimidating, don’t let it put you off. We aim to have fun, to work hard and to make progress in a secure and supportive group environment.
Numbers limited, to book a place please phone the centre on 01854 613336 or by email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
