Course Description
Poetry for all! Find your poetic voice and gain clarity on the whats and whys of poetry. Join poet Ella Frears online in a small group of 12 participants for an intensive month of workshops designed to get you into (and clued-up on) poetry in its various forms.
This is not a beginners’ course exactly (though beginners are welcome!). It is designed for those who want to write poetry but don’t know where to start, for people who already write it but feel nervous, excluded, overwhelmed, or out of their depth, and for anyone in a writing slump. It’s for those from other disciplines who are curious about what poetry could do for them and their practice – whether you’re a novelist, filmmaker, printmaker, comedian, or geographer – join us! Basically, it’s for anyone who would like to write in a low-pressure, informative, and fun space where questions are welcome and poetic experimentation is encouraged.
