Working Towards a Collection
Foundations, keystones and arcs: a poetry course which focuses on editing a group of poems together into a sequence, a pamphlet or a collection with shape and direction. Don’t feel you must arrive with a large number of poems – the aim is not just to produce a particular text, but to work with narrative and to help you to evaluate and develop your work.
This course is fully booked. Please call the centre if you would like to be put on the waiting list or to discuss other courses.
