Location: Online from Collage Writing Room
Latest Activity: Dec 29, 2020

Monday evenings, 6.45pm to 9.15pm; Feb 22, March 1, 8, 15, 22, 29. Virtual Writing Room via ZOOM video conference & correspondence.

Complete beginners to poetry sought! Relative newcomers very welcome! Seasoned poets – come along too!

This is a course for anyone who wants to liberate their creativity and immerse themselves in the joy of language. Playful, fun, entertaining, enlightening – explore your word power with Paul Lyalls.

Enjoy this set of 6 workshops, one of 3 separate sets which can be taken in any order.

A note to prose writers: have you ever wondered what it is like to write in the poetic form? Perhaps you write in prose automatically but would like to try to use language in another way. If your fiction needs a lift, if your life-writing needs lilt, if your central characters don’t quite sing (or even if they do!) you can free your writing through poetry.

Cost £125 (email kate@collage-arts.org to register and receive payment link)

We help to develop and support the writer, as much as the writing, with extra check-in sessions like our process/progress group, and our Feedback Fridays, sharing salons and reading groups. Our latest course programme is here. Our clubs and groups are here.
