If you have always wanted to write poetry and never had the time, or have toyed with the form but want to get serious, this week-long intensive workshop could be just the thing.
Each day the group will explore different aspects of the form including how to generate the raw material to create a poem. The workshop will cover all the basics such as how to handle metaphor and image, form and architecture.
In the mornings there will be an in-depth study of technique through close reading, discussion and in-class writing exercises.
In the afternoons there will be dedicated writing tasks associated with the day’s theme, and the opportunity for peer-critiquing and individual tuition, all in the inspiring surroundings of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
