Description
If you have plenty to say about 2016 (!) you might want to think about channeling that into your poetry and joining Live Canon's political poetry correspondence course which commences on January 11th. We ran the course in 2016 and hugely enjoyed the dialogue with an extraordinary group of poets, so we are going to run it again in 2017.
It's a 12 week course. Each week you receive a tutorial via email (illustrated with videos and audio recordings). There are writing prompts and exercises to inspire work, an online chat group for discussion, and written feedback from the Live canon team. In terms of looking back at the history of political poetry, we cover a wide range of poetry and poets, but rather than working chronologically, we cluster the tutorials around topics.
- Topics covered include:
- What is political poetry?
- Politics and form
- Protest poetry
- Discourse, rhetoric and vocabulary
- Poet as witness
- Writing Back
- Satire
- Public Poetry
- Old Stories, New Contexts
- Rebels and Rule breakers
- Audiences and communities
We studey political poetry's past, and aim to create its future.
As well as receiving the weekly tutorial, we create an online chat group for all the poets to discuss the work, questions and offer peer feedback.
The cost is £150. It can be broken into three installments if you wish (one to book, one when we start, one half way through). There is a 50% discount for students.If you have any questions, don't hesitate to come back to us.
