Making Poetry

How are poems made? This course looks at how poems are put together using tools that include metre, rhythm, rhyme, imagery, tone of voice, rhetoric and diction. You'll look at how stanzas, lines, sentences and words work together - taking in traditional forms and styles including sonnets, ballad form and narrative poetry, metaphysical poetry and blank verse; looking at how rhetorical devices work within poems to strengthen them, and how to get the most out of every word. There will be writing exercises but this is not a feedback class.

There will be writing exercises but this is not a feedback class.The spring term of this course will start on 11 January 2011, but if you want to join in at a later stage we can organise this. Click 'ADD TO BASKET' if you want to sign up for the summer term (starting 4th May).

What People Say

"[In] Katy Evans-Bush's impressive sequence... [her] sympathies appear to lie with James... but the wit and playfulness of this collection also acknowledge Wilde's more teasing way with the truth." - Andrew McCulloch, Times Literary Supplement

"Seriousness, a subtlety of line, an intelligent sense of uhumour and a seriousness about art" - Clare Pollard, book endorsement

"I couldn’t put it down! Very absorbing and satisfying at many levels." - Ian Duhig, book endorsement

"Her ironised yet romantic fatalism... is a model of edgy wit and restrained emotion." - John Stammers, book endorsement
