The Writer and the Poem, Kingston University
By looking at our story of writing and the life-story and physiology of a poem, we will develop your relationship to the work. Through exercises, examining published examples and some writing in class we will consider what you bring to the writing; what, for you, makes a poem; and what may allow a poem to have its own life.
