Develop your craft, refine your voice, and take
your poetry to the next level. Poetry 1 is designed for writers who have
mastered the basics and are ready to deepen their understanding of
contemporary poetry, poetic techniques, and the practical aspects of
being a working poet. Through guided study, writing exercises,
discussions, critiques, and personalised feedback, participants will
build both their technical skills and creative confidence. The course encourages students to explore a
range of poetic styles and approaches while developing a clear and
authentic voice of their own. About the Course This engaging and practical course takes
participants through many of the key elements of modern poetry
writing. Through a carefully structured programme of exercises,
discussions, notes, and tutor feedback, students will develop their
powers of observation, strengthen their use of language, and gain a
deeper understanding of how successful poems are crafted. Alongside writing practice, the course explores
a variety of poetic forms and styles, helping participants become
familiar with important technical concepts while applying them
creatively in their own work. The programme also introduces the practical
realities of a poet's life, including editing, preparing work for
publication, and presenting poetry to an audience.

receive constructive feedback on your writing. Through discussion and
critique, students are encouraged to examine their work closely,
recognise strengths and weaknesses, and develop a more confident and
