Poet and writer Keith Jarrett will lead the Young Writers’ Café for young people in Inverness and surrounding areas in March.
Join Keith in finding fascinating ways to write and perform poetry! We’ll be exploring how to employ sharp images to express ourselves, and how to bring them to life beyond the page.
No need for experience, just bring along a playful mind and pen and paper! Drinks and snacks provided.
