About this course

The richness of harvest signals, as it has always done, the end of a cycle and the beginning of another.

On this six-session course you will use seasonal images and resources to focus on creating poems connected to the golden shades of Autumn, but that also may explore other ideas around endings and beginnings.

Everyone is welcome as this course is suitable for poetry beginners and if you’ve written poetry before.

  • During the course, we will cover: -

  • Using images and memories to ignite ideas for poems

  • Using your senses as a guide for writing

  • Reading a variety of Autumn poems for inspiration

  • Using existing poems as a starter for your own

  • Recognising the clues in the shape of a poem

  • Poetic form

  • Transferable skills such as active listening and giving opinions in a group

What you will need to bring with you:

A pen/pencil and a notebook preferably A4
