Could your poetry do with a new lease of life?
Grab the bull by the horns and take this chance to learn from established poet Pascale Petit, the author of five poetry collections, and former editor of Poetry London.
About the workshop
This workshop for intermediate to advanced writers will help you develop your ideas and writing techniques. Using group discussion and feedback from Pascale, you and your fellow writers will use the morning to work on your creative writing alongside examples of others’ work.
Before the workshop each participant will email one poem to Pascale and the group. The afternoon will be spent discussing these poems – a valuable exercise that will help you gain a range of insights into how others perceive different forms of poetry, including your own!
