Routes into Poetry 2011/2012

This course is appropriate for beginners and those who have written some poetry but who would like take a more structured approach to their writing. You will examine the basics of rhyme, metre, verse forms, lineation and stanza structure. Through exercises, reading, writing and feedback, you will also begin to construct a voice, to create shapes on the page and develop your first drafts with confidence.

Please note that the Summer 2012 term is closed to new students, however details for the Autumn term (term 1) will be released in May.
