Working towards a collection
This course, aimed at experienced poets working towards a first full collection, will look at different aspects of moving from writing individual poems towards shaping a book, including building sequences, the pleasures and pitfalls of narratives, editing and structure. The course will not focus on getting published, but on ways of creating a collection worthy of publication.
