Mid-autumn. Mars is red and bright in the sky, the moon is low on the horizon at sunset. The rich palette of the leaves, firework displays that light up the sky.

Recently at Write & Shine, poet Karen McCarthy Woolf talked about her New Year’s resolution to see a bonfire each season. A way to connect with the vital element of fire, she said, as well as to take a trip to explore different places. So perhaps it’s apt that our latest audio course is called ‘Ticket to Ride,’ all about travel, writing and journeys by train, inspired by a brilliant range of writers and poets.

I hope you enjoy it!

Writing with the Seasons is brought to you by Write & Shine, a programme of morning writing events and online courses.
