Giving Your Poems a Voice

Poets are invited to submit 6 poems for consideration for the Masterclass. The course will be structured around both morning and afternoon workshops (six during week) and evening readings after dinner (four during week). There will be no one-to-one sessions; instead, poets will be put into small groups of four for sharing and discussing of work each day. Work completed during the week will be printed in a course anthology. Applications are invited from poets who have not previously attended a course with the tutors.
