Tickets: £20
Have you felt haunted by the ghosts of your spookiest drafts, daring to shriek the unspeakable? Do the deep desires of your poems-in-progress rattle the floorboards at night, longing to let themselves soar onto your pages? Join Shivanee Ramlochan as she helps you channel the witchiness within, drawing on Caribbean folklore, queer feminist readings of classic to contemprary verses, and immersive writing exercises made to raise even your most sepulchral lines. This spectral season, allow yourself the power of your own, infinitely spellbinding words.
Shivanee Ramlochan is a Trinidadian poet and essayist. Her first collection, Everyone Knows I Am a Haunting, was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection.

Shivanee's second collection, Witch Hindu, is forthcoming in 2026.
