Poets of all levels of experience are welcome to this six week workshop course exploring where poems come from, how they build, grow and are discovered. At each session, unique and inspiring poetry making approaches will be shared.
Find out fun and easy ways to unlock poems and illuminate subjects ranging from everyday moments to world events, enabling participants to explore the epiphanies of their lives and their world around them. Supportive and constructive feedback, grow through sharing. It will be friendly, it will be fun, it will occasionally rhyme - but not all the time! (Fancy biscuits from Crouch End as standard!)

"The techniques Paul uses are truly accessible to all, whether writing their first poems or - like me - looking for new ways in. As a teacher Paul is warm, friendly and generous. He creates a very chilled, non-judgemental space in which to share work, however fragmentary." 2017 participant
'Paul will get you grabbing a poem out of thin air in no time (and renaming it 'skinny oxygen' to boot!). Fab class, lots of fun.' 2017 participant
