Crafting and Redrafting: Making Poems Work (Accredited Course)

Why can poems change the way we think and feel? This module considers vital aspects of form including rhythm, enjambment, layout, punctuation, voice, imagery, alliteration and rhyme. We will explore how these tools are used by published authors in relation to their subject matter, and put techniques into practice through a structured series of writing activities. Students will develop a critical awareness of how poems work, expand their knowledge of contemporary poetry, and enhance their editing, redrafting and feedback skills. By the end of the module students will have produced a portfolio of new poems and a critical commentary. All levels of experience are welcome.
