Making Pictures with Words (Manchester Summer School)

This course looks at imagery and metaphor in poetry and will focus on creating original and startling pictures with words. We will use published poems as starting points, but the focus of the day is to generate new work and to give you the opportunity to surprise yourself with your writing. Beginners and more experienced writers are very welcome.
