Writing 2:Poetry - Form and Experience

Core Requirement for BA Hons Creative Writing
Elective Option for BA Hons Creative Arts*

Poetry Form and Experience looks at a wide range of poetic forms, from the short lyric poem to the epic narrative poem, as well as providing a short history of poetry and encouraging you to practice writing in a variety of forms. By the end of the course, you’ll have built up a folio of writing which has undergone critical appraisal and revision. You may have a personal writing goal you wish to pursue – anything from writing a sonnet to completing a sequence of poems. On the other hand, you may have no clear goal as yet. Wherever you are in your writing career, Poetry Form and Experience will give you the inspiration and the stimulation to start, improve, complete or move on. Note that this course is not designed to provide direct help with getting work into print. However, your tutor may encourage you to seek publication when your work reaches an appropriate level.

You need to have good internet access to do this course since you have to access and listen to poems online. This is an essential component of the course.
