6 week course | THURSDAYS 10.30-12.00

This is a course for anyone who would like to deepen their understanding of poetry, through careful reading and creative writing. Each week we will look at some important poems from English literature in detail, and discuss how they work. What are they saying, and how? We will consider aspects such as form, style, rhythm, rhyme and ask how a poem speaks to us. You will be invited to write your own piece in response to what we have read and to share poems that have moved and inspired you.

SESSION DATES
