Poetry
Arvon offers a wide range of Poetry courses designed for writers at all levels - from Starting to Write Poetry, aimed at newcomers looking to kick-start their writing, to Advanced Poetry for poets who are working towards a first collection. The courses are tutored by highly respected and acclaimed poets, including David Morley, Ian Duhig, Carol Ann Duffy, Mark Doty and Liz Lochhead.
