Richard Skinner is a walker and a writer, sometimes both at the same time. For his ‘Spiritual Landscapes’ workshop, Richard will show and discuss his poems written while walking in The Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and on the Pennine Way. Using these poems and others as models, you will then explore the spirituality of walking in your own work.

Richard Skinner has published three novels with Faber & Faber, eight books of poetry, three essay collections, a writers’ handbook & a biography. He is Director of the Fiction Programme at Faber Academy, where he teaches a variety of courses on fiction & life writing. He runs a small press, Vanguard Editions.
