Online Poetry Short Course – led by Jonathan Davidson
This short course will offer a group of around a dozen the chance to produce new work inspired by interesting and uncommon poems from far and wide. Meeting for two hours a week on Zoom, the course will focus around short and hopefully enjoyable workshop exercises and poetry prompts. Alongside these, there will be discussion about all aspects of the poetry scene and some conversation on how to continue to enjoy the process of writing, reading, listening and speaking poetry. A weekly information e-mail will follow each session. At the end of the fifth session we’ll have a small private poetry reading, although as with all aspects of the course, nothing is obligatory. To finish, there will be a ‘free raffle’ with poetry-related prizes for everyone!
The course will run for two hours on Monday evenings on the following dates:
Monday 1st June 2026
Monday 8th June 2026
Monday 15th June 2026
Monday 22nd June 2026
Monday 29th June 2026
Each session will run from 19:00 to 21:00 BST (GMT+1).
