Breeding Poems

Putting your poems together for a collection can be like an artist arranging an exhibition; not only do paintings modify each other, but they can imply and prompt new work to complete or vary existing patterns. This workshop aims to help you do that. Once your place is confirmed, please send us 5-10 of your best poems at least two weeks in advance as Ian’s exercises will draw on your own work.

Ian Duhig
Ian Duhig has written five books of poetry the most recent of which, 'The Speed of Dark', published in March 2007, was that Spring's PBS Choice. 'The Lammas Hireling' (Picador 2003) was a PBS Choice and shortlisted for the Forward and T.S. Eliot Best Collection Prizes, while its title poem won both the National Poetry Competition (Duhig's second time achieving this) and the Forward Best Poem Prize. He has held teaching fellowships at Lancaster, Leeds, Durham and Newcastle Universities (the last two as Northern Arts Literary Fellow) and was the 2003 International Writer Fellow at Trinity College Dublin. Since 2004, he has been Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Trinity and All Saints College of Leeds University.
