Want to try your hand at writing poetry? This is a warm and welcoming workshop for beginner poets who want to learn more about poetry, write more regularly, and/or share their work in a kind and constructive environment. Work with a published, prize-winning poet, try out different genres and forms, develop your voice and enjoy being part of a writing community.
Each workshop will include reading published poems/poets for inspiration, followed by focussed writing time. There will also be opportunities each week to share your poems in progress and receive feedback from the group, though as this is a beginners' workshop, sharing your writing is not compulsory.
An open mind, enthusiasm for writing, and readiness to read a variety of poems.
Get ready to write!
As this is an online course, you'll need a stable internet connection. Pen/pencil and notebook is highly recommended for free-writing, though you can also write on your computer, iPad or phone if you find these easier to work with.
