Hai-Cookery – Writing Workshop
February 15, 2025 @ 4:00 PM
Come along to a fun, interactive poetry session where, for once, playing with your food is not only allowed but actively encouraged! Use alphabet spaghetti to create your own food-themed haiku, led by acclaimed poet and writer Kevin MacNeil and using his zen-inspired approach to recipe-writing, Hai Cookery. Open to absolutely everyone from Michelin-starred chefs to those who can't boil an egg. Who knows what delicious dishes and wondrous words you might cook up?
Poet, novelist, playwright, screenwriter, and lyricist Kevin MacNeil was born and raised in the Outer Hebrides and is a practising Buddhist. His debut poetry collection, Love and Zen in the Outer Hebrides, won the Tivoli Europa Giovani International Poetry Prize and his most recent novel, The Brilliant and Forever, was shortlisted for the Saltire Fiction Book of the Year Award. Currently a lecturer in creative writing at the University of Stirling, Kevin writes in both English and Gaelic and regularly tutors at Scotland’s national writing centre, Moniack Mhor. His next book is a short story collection titled Inner Hearts, Outer Hebrides.
This workshop is for adults only.
