Poetry

Finding More Voices

Why limit ourselves to just one voice? Aren’t we all honest and mendacious, playful and intense, imaginative and down-to-earth, idealistic and cynical, civilised and wild? Through reading and writing exercises and one-to-one consultations, this course will focus on extending our vocal range, on ways of being more fully ourselves in our poems. Serious fun for new and experienced poets.
