Enjoy writing poetry, avoiding the mystique that sometimes inhibits people! Poetry is a vehicle for feelings, narrative and above all, imagery, and music. Memory is an important facet of both memoirs and, often, poetry. We will consider examples of published poetry and memoir extracts. Reading and discussion of your work in a friendly, constructive setting, with some writing projects.
Please bring a pen and a notepad.
