Arvon Online Writing Week: Poetry - Movement and stillness with Caroline Bird and Hannah Copley
Mon 16 Nov 2026 to Fri 20 Nov 2026
Poems are like people, they arrive with distinct energies, changing the air around them. Some poems burst in with a whirlwind of words. Some poems freeze, or contain themselves tightly behind their own lines.

‘The longing for the dance stirs in the buried life’ – Stanley Kunitz
‘Don’t be less of a flower, but could you be more of a stone at the same time?’ – Mary Ruefle

On this course with award-winning poets Caroline Bird and Hannah Copley, you’ll try on multiple energies – wild, excessive, sparse, meticulous, composed, searing and controlled – and find ways to hold restraint and emotion inside the same poem. Prepare to write a lot of new material.
