About the course
Areas covered
The course will vary depending on the needs
of the student but is open to beginners and more experienced poets.
Please note, more advanced study is currently only available for free-verse poetry.
- For near-beginners, the course will be based largely on your own work, but you may choose to attempt some set exercises if you wish.
- For more experienced poets, the course
will be centred on the student's own work. The tutor will engage with you
in detailed analysis and step-by-step revision.
Analysis and criticism will always be constructive.
- Questions of technique, and poetic art generally, which arise from the discussion of your work -
such as language, imagery, line, structure, and form - will become part of the course,
but there will not be any study of "theory for its own sake".
- The primary aim will be to help you translate your ideas and inspirations into poems that have a life of their own.
- Where appropriate, the tutor will offer help and advice to poets considering
submitting their work for publication. Advice on internet and print outlets and on the
preparation of your typescript.
