My workshops & courses

Poetry is the language of the soul…

It cuts through small talk and gets straight to the heart of human experience. It allows us to articulate the seemingly ineffable and express our vast and complex inner worlds. And the incredible thing is that when we share our fabulous, fractured and fierce selves in all our glory, we realise that others are experiencing the same thing. It becomes the human experience, not my experience. What a profoundly expansive and soothing discovery!

I’ve performed my poetry at festivals and events across Australia, have a published poetry collection, have run countless workshops, and connected with thousands of humans on a truly intimate level. All thanks to the power of poetry.

TESTIMONIALS

“I did Amy’s course twice! Amy creates a unique space for inspiration, reflection and laughter. So good for the soul and practical too; I’m now working on a number of new poems that came out of the experience. I’m predominantly a page poet but I picked up useful tips for performance and can shake off some of that anxiety now too!”

– Laura Brinson, published poet

“I feel like I’m not just writing and performing poetry but – through doing Amy’s course – I’m embarking on a new personal creative development, diving into my life and coming up with surprising pearls of wisdom. I’ve learned that poetry isn’t all about rules and rhyming – it’s about having fun with words, taking risks and diving into your soul and sharing what it has to say with those who are there to share and listen.”

– Liz Skitch, acclaimed writer, performer, producer
