Courses description

Have you ever wanted to learn more about the world of poetry magazines? Do you enjoy reading new poems and keeping up to date with the latest news in poetry? Would you like to try writing poems in various styles guided by exercises and prompts? This course will focus on a different poetry magazine each week. We will read issues of The Poetry Review, Modern Poetry in Translation, Poetry Birmingham, Propel Magazine, Magma, and PN Review, attending to the editorial choices and discussing poems and articles from the publications. We will then write our own poems inspired by our reading and discussion. There will be the opportunity to share your work in a supportive group environment where you will receive feedback from your tutor and peers.

PLEASE NOTE: there will be no class on Wednesday 19th November, it will be postponed to Wednesday 17th December.
