From
£50.00

Age: 18+

£50 for full four-week course

Join Dr Bob Beagrie in a non-accredited course of advanced workshops exploring the process of poetic composition.

From initial inspiration, through directed research and freesearch, drafting, revision, group feedback, formal experimentation and structural and stylistic considerations, to close editing and coaching in oral performance / recital, this programme of workshops provides a friendly and supportive environment in which to reflect upon your current practice, set achievable goals, expand your poetic range and build a body of polished work for publication and/or live presentation.

Each workshop will involve practical step-by-step activities around a particular theme or approach, group discussion of example poems and related poetic techniques, principles and theory, as well as sharing and constructive feedback on work-in-progress.

The four week taster programme (weekly, every Wednesday from 5pm – 8pm) culminates in a showcase of poetry in which members of The Poet’s Table perform a selection of their poetry to a public audience.
