The course is designed so that everyone from highly experienced, published poets to new writers can work together at their own pace. Each tutor gives two workshops and a reading of their own work. The small number of participant places available means every course member receives individual attention. There are lots of opportunities to talk informally to both tutors at mealtimes and chances to work on personal projects too. We will take maximum advantage of our beautiful surroundings wherever possible; all participants will also have the chance to perform in the course reading.
