This six-week course will kick-start plenty of new poems in response to the art in the galleries. Creative writing exercises will be offered to release the imaginative juices and enable you to try different directions in your work. The special emphasis of this term is to generate exciting poems but we will also devote at least one session to group feedback of work in progress. The course will culminate in a public reading.

This course is open to both beginners and experienced writers.
