Poetry: Writing Poetry

Poetry: Writing Poetry 2026

Whether you’re new to poetry or have been writing for many years, this course aims to help you develop your skills within a safe and supportive environment. We will explore the craft and mystery of poetry, its many devices: image, metre, rhyme, lineation … and how an awareness of both traditional forms and free verse can influence the choices we make as a poem evolves.
