There will be warm-up exercises, classic examples of poems, discussion, writing and presentations. The aim will be to give participants the chance to produce six new poems, at least in draft form. The sessions will be friendly but focused and are suitable for experienced poets and those who have started their poetry journey – what’s important is an open heart and mind and a willingness to have a go!
