City Lit: Autobiography into poetry with Sarah Wardle
Sat 8 Oct 2022 to Sun 9 Oct 2022
Learn how to translate real-life experiences into powerful poems in this stimulating course for those interested in the meeting place between autobiography and poetry.
Do you want to adapt your life writing into poems of witness and expression? Using writing prompts for both prose memoir and poetry, along with examples of modern poems, this course will show you how to translate memories - of migration or falling in love, of work or bereavement - into contemporary poetry. You’ll write poetry with soul and share your first forays from autobiographical prose into poetry with others at the same stage.
Sarah Wardle won Poetry Review’s new poet of the year award in 1999 and her first collection, Fields Away (Bloodaxe Books, 2003), was shortlisted for the Forward best first collection prize. Her most recent Bloodaxe collections are Beyond (2014) and Spiritlands (2019). She has been a Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Royal Holloway, University of London, and works as a creative writing tutor for Morley College, Westminster Kingsway College and the Workers’ Educational Association.
