Summary:
Poetry can sometimes seem mysterious and intimidating. But you can write it – and this online course aims to expand your skills and confidence. Each month, participants receive a brief prompt to help them start a new poem, which they will then show to the rest of the group. Andy will provide precise, constructive suggestions for improvement, along with some ideas to expand your reading and writing practice. All participants are also encouraged to give feedback. This online course actively encourages sharing of your work with your cohort as well as with the tutor.
