Core samples – an advanced poetry course
Though we recognise our obsessions, it is difficult to escape the well-worn paths they seem to lay down for our poetry. Participants will consider how to gain freer access to this core imaginative material, how to explore and deal fruitfully with its possibilities. (Please note: this course will involve some preparatory reading.)
