Poetry in Depth: Getting Started

Are you a poet at the start of your practice, who wants to take their work to the next level?
Maybe you’re having trouble telling your syllabics and sestinas apart, or can’t quite crack the rhyme scheme in Shakespearean sonnet? Perhaps, you’re curious about how to best edit and present your writing on the road to publication.
Join the modestly titled ‘Master of Poetry’ Tom, from Shout or Whisper. He’ll take you on a 6-week journey, guiding you through different types of rhyme, explaining the mechanics of poetic forms like villanelles and sonnets, and helping you explore styles like confessionalism, objectivism and ekphrasis.
There’ll be plenty of examples provided, lots of writing exercises to cut your teeth on, and ample opportunities to share your work in a safe space with a group of supportive, like-minded creatives.
Sessions run every Wednesday from 2nd September - 7th October, 7.30-9pm
£15 per session
£80 for full course
