About this Event
This two hour workshop will be led by The Craft House’s creative writing tutor, Alyson Faye.* It is suitable for beginners, those who have previously written poetry and for those who would like to start submitting their work to markets and magazines.
We will look at poems by poets such as Carol Ann Duffy, Wendy Cope, Yorkshire-based James Nash and Brian Bilston. We will discuss different forms of poetry, Haiku, Sonnets etc. and where to look for inspiration to get you and keep you writing.
The emphasis is on having fun, and all the exercises are tutor-led, with resources being provided by the tutor. Just bring your pen, or laptop or notepad.
There will be an opportunity to share your work, work in pairs, receive some feedback from the tutor in the workshop, and there will be take-away information sheets of top tips and magazines/markets to submit your poetry to.
Price is £25 per person.
