Taking the building blocks of poetry writing as its focus, this course will explore imagery, structure, sound and language to produce poetry drafts we can develop at home. We will look at how published poems use these building blocks, through reading and exercises. The course is delivered fortnightly to give us plenty of time to work on our drafts, and alternate sessions will be dedicated to feedback on the poems we’ve worked on at home.

Suitable for beginners and prose writers new to poetry.
