Writing Poetry

In this 6-week writing course run by published poet and writer Prema Arasu, you will explore the history, theory and practice of poetry writing together with a welcoming group of fellow writers. We will trace poetic traditions from antiquity to the present and experiment with a wide variety of forms: heroic verse, sonnets, lyric poetry, imagism, found-object poems, slam and free verse. You are invited to share your own work and workshop your poems with supportive feedback aimed at preparing pieces for possible publication.

Whether you are new to poetry or have some experience, Prema will support you to deepen your practice, strengthen confidence and connect with a community of creative peers.

What to bring:

• Notebook and pens or,
• A laptop or tablet.
