Working with the line as the basic unit of poetry, we will foreground key words for maximum impact and explode the myth of poetry as a space where ‘anything goes’. Through teacher-led exercises and discussions you will learn to stop hiding your main moves and free up your poetic voice. Participation free;Registration Essential.
