POETRY SUMMER SCHOOL SESSION SIX: EDITING YOUR WORK

POETRY SUMMER SCHOOL

The Writers’ Workshop, Orchard Square Sheffield

short course of six sessions with me, Suzannah Evans, will cover the essentials of poetry, from why we write it to how it works. Each session will include writing time and time for feedback. These sessions are suitable for beginner and intermediate poets. I recommend you come with an open mind and a willingness to play with words!

Thursday September 12th 6pm-8pm Editing Your Work

In our final workshop of the season, we’re going to look at how to polish up and assist those poems that might not quite be doing what we need them to. We’ll play with editing techniques, create a toolkit to see us through future poetry emergencies, and finish the course with a short feedback workshop.
