Heaney to Homer and Back - a reading course

‘Heaney to Homer and Back’ was one of the first courses the Poetry School ran, back in our early days. Revisiting the course’s highlights for new and returning students, each session explores the life and work of one of the following: Heaney, Lorca, Rilke, Cavafy, Yeats, Emily Dickinson, the Kalevala, Early Chinese Lyric poetry, Pushkin and Whitman. Generous handouts will be provided and each week’s combination of tutor input, close reading and lively discussion is designed to provide guidance, stimulus and new ideas for your reading and writing.
