This course explains and illustrates the essential elements of the art of poetry. It helps you to think about poetry and what it can do and it will help you to write better poems. The course is firmly structured but leaves you free to be creative as you write poems on a wide range of subjects and practise different styles and techniques. You will also develop a vocabulary for analysing and evaluating poems, study the work of other poets and keep a learning log as a source of ideas and a record of your thoughts.
The course aims to develop a flexible and informed use of language; increase appreciation and understanding of the genre; explore different ways of looking at poems; develop a critical vocabulary and understanding of poetic techniques and traditions.
You are allocated a tutor and receive their details in your course pack. You work from the course materials and send regular assignments to your tutor. These are returned to you with comment and advice. The course fee includes tutor feedback on your set assignments, but you can purchase feedback and comment on additional pieces of work if you wish.
