With Sean O’Brien

This masterclass will concentrate on those points at which a poem comes into its own during the process of revision. TS Eliot prize winner Sean O’Brien will look at ways of preventing habit or anxiety from obstructing the range and development of our work, and the overall emphasis will be on the sense of possibility. Those booking onto the masterclass will be asked to submit poems in advance.
