This Sunday 8th March Blick resident @seasidebooksni have this great new course starting in our South Belfast Studios

Pop Culture Poetics is a six-week workshop for writers, creators, and curious minds who want to explore how pop culture can serve as a powerful muse for poetic expression. Sessions start March 8, 2026 and will be held Sundays from 5-7pm GMT at Blick Studios. £40 per person.

Each week, we’ll unpack how the media we consume shapes our understanding of identity, authenticity, and art. From The Kardashians to Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Instagram poetry, we will explore how culture is created and discuss poetry each week that utilises pop culture as a vehicle to examine race, class, gender, and sexuality. Prompts will be given each week to inspire participants to write poetry inspired by television, music, internet culture, and more. We’ll imagine the future of poetry through the lens of economic uncertainty, digital overload, and a search for authenticity in an age of constant performance, gaining a deeper understanding of pop culture as both mirror and muse. Whether you’re new to poetry or a seasoned writer looking to reignite your craft, Pop Culture Poetics invites you to bring your obsessions, your playlists, your timelines—and turn them into verse.
