Poetry

Opening Lines

For those new to writing poetry, this course will provide a supportive space to create new work, seek advice and explore a range of poetic strategies, through enjoyable workshops and readings. We suggest that participants read some contemporary poetry in advance - for example, the Bloodaxe anthology Staying Alive.
