FREE events take place over the weekend as part of the Durham Literature Festival.
Sheree Mack, the festival poet-in-residence, is staging drop-in sessions at unit six, Fowlers Yard Artists' Studios, in Back Silver Street, Durham.
She will welcome any enthusiastic poets who want to chat about their writing, or who would like to hear some of her spontaneously-created work.
Three daily sessions take place, from today until Sunday, between noon and 2pm.
Meanwhile, a two-day workshop, about words, images, drama and the world-wide web, takes place at the Gala Theatre and the nearby Clayport Library, in Millennium Place, Durham, tomorrow and Sunday, from 10am to 3pm.
Aimed at the 14 to 19 age group, participants are invited to create a digital city and invent an alternative history of Durham.
Author Mary Hoffman, whose work, City of Masks, is the inspiration for the workshop, will help tomorrow, before she gives a talk in the studio, at the Gala Theatre, from 4pm. For details, call 0191-332 4041.
