Poetry: Reading It and Writing It!

3 MONTH COURSE

• January: 13th, 20th, 27th
• February: 3rd, 10th

10.30-12

In this course, we follow modern poetry from the late twentieth century to today. We’ll also be able to see how contemporary poetry has been shaped and influenced by the past, while reflecting its own time.

MORE INFORMATION

Participants will be given the contents of each session in advance, so you will have time to prepare; and there will be suggestions for extension reading for those who wish to build on what we have read together. Texts of shorter poems will be provided but editions will also be recommended so you can bring your own copies if you wish. Longer poems will be set as homework to give us time to discuss them in class.

We are all aiming to be better readers and better writers. The aim of this course is to help with those goals!
