Drawing on her own experience of adapting to life with chronic fatigue following a stroke in 2019, poet Sarah Bowman’s practical workshop explores how reading and writing poetry moves us out of emotional numbness and into a new sense of acceptance, agency and selfhood. 

Writer and performance poet Sarah Bowman is the winner of last year’s Margate Bookie poetry slam and former Babeslam champion. She’s also had short stories published in the Margate Mercury.
