Staying Alive

How might a poem give us a highvoltage jolt to the heart, allow us to see the world in different ways? What makes some poems fly, and others not achieve lift-off? Through close reading, discussion, writing and feedback we’ll explore these questions. Weeks will alternate between investigating a poem in some depth and then using it as a springboard into writing, and feedback on our own work. These two terms will be stimulating for both novices and experienced poets. The Bloodaxe anthology Staying Alive will be our inspiration; so you’ll need to bring it to each session.
