NZSA Webworkshop on 6pm – 8pm, Tuesday 20 August

In this workshop we will look at the way creative essays follow a thought or idea in a discursive way, allowing for divergence, connections, and surprise.

Lynn Davidson writes poetry, memoir, essays and fiction. She had a Hawthornden Fellowship in 2013 and a Bothy Project Residency in the Cairngorms in 2016. She won the Poetry New Zealand Poetry Award, 2020, and was 2021 Randell Cottage Creative New Zealand Writer in Residence. In 2023 she was Mike Riddell Writer in Residence in the Ida Valley, Central Otago. Lynn lives in Edinburgh and calls Aotearoa New Zealand and Scotland home.

Fee: NZSA Members – $35. (Non-members – $65)
