Like Music for Poetry: (mostly) a reading course

There are many different kinds of music. We group our music: classical, jazz, punk, folk. There are many different kinds of poetry. What happens if we try and form such groups in poetry? Reading poems for their similar sound or stance might lead us to become more aware of different strands in contemporary poetry which may in turn lead us to where our own poems might stand. This is predominantly a reading course but we will do one writing exercise per session.

Please note that the dates and prices in the printed programme changed after we went to print - the ones on the website are correct. Numbers for this course are capped at 12, hence the price change.
