On the day before Halloween it feels appropriate to look at the Raven.
We will look at the classic, dark, poem by Edgar Allen Poe and plenty of other historical and mythological references to the raven, the largest and cleverest of the corvids. There will be plenty of chance to write your own stories or poems on the theme of the raven and to share what we have written.
Halloween is the night before All Hallows which is also the day before All Souls and apart from the modern, largely American, traditions around Halloween these are significant religious holidays in much of the world.
All aged 18+ are welcome to attend our sessions, there is no need to book, just bring along something to write with and your imagination.
