About this course

About this course

Spring celebrates hope and renewal. Through time and across the world, Spring has inspired poets to capture that spirit of the new. Over three sessions we will use some famous (and not so famous) examples of Spring poetry to get us writing poetry. This course aims to help you record what you notice and want to remember about this special time. The course session is suitable for beginners, but those with some poetry experience are welcome also. 

By the end of the course:

• You will have drafted one or more Spring-inspired poems 
• You will appreciate the power of writing from your senses and your experience   
• You will be able to recognize a metaphor in a poem and use it as a poetic technique 
• You will be able to recognize and name a number of poetic forms  
• You will have read your work to the group, listened to others’ poems and given feedback on them 

You will need:

• Paper and pen
