Liberating the poem
Celebrating the liberating powers of form, this course will pay particular attention to poems as shapes and the way constraint can lead to discovery. It is equally interested in the way redrafting and re-envisioning can help produce sharper, more original poems. Please send three poems in triplicate to the Hurst by 5 July. Participants will be selected by the tutors.
