It’s my lunch hour, so I go / for a walk among the hum-colored / cabs’, Frank O’Hara writes in Lunch Poems (1964). Written during breaks while he worked at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, O’Hara’s poems will form a starting point for our own lunch poems. How might we use the ‘lunch hour’ as a creative constraint? How might the figure of the flâneur – or city walker – guide our attention to our urban surroundings? How might we create spontaneity – or the appearance of it – in our writing?
A notebook/writing paper and a pen.

Latecomer
If a course has already started, please call the office as it may be possible to join after the start date. This may only be possible if the course is not already full, if it is not disruptive for the other students and you are aware that you have missed a percentage of the course and the tutor will not have time to catch you up. This will be at discretion of the Folk House. We run our courses termly, so it might be best to start at the beginning of the course.
