Catherine
Bateson
Catherine Bateson grew up in a second hand bookshop in Brisbane
- a great childhood for a writer! After producing two collections
of poetry, she combined her love for poetic form and narrative
and wrote two verse novels for young adults. Her third book
which is to be published soon is a novel in prose.

Workshop title:
"Over the top odes to ordinary objects"
(Yr 11,12)
Explore the "crowded toolbox" of poetic technique
in this hands-on writing workshop. We'll look at some odes to
ordinary objects and then, with the help of word tickets, write
our own odes, transforming our everyday world into a riot of
metaphor, symbol and hyperbole.
"Odes/of all/hues and sizes,/seraphic, blue/or violet,/to
eat,/to dance, to follow footprints in the sand" Odes to
everything by Pablo Neruda |
