Poems to Love, Sparks of Monthly Inspiration: 4 Aug, 1 Sept, 6 Oct 2026
Tue 4 Aug 2026 to Tue 6 Oct 2026
Top up your poetry joy and craft! Relish the joy of poetry in these short small-group meetings on Zoom on the first Tuesday of the month. NAWE Member Discount.

You'll receive a small bundle of poems from our poet of the month (sent in advance) that are exciting, arresting or just simply wonderful.

We'll look at the nuts and bolts of how good poetry is made and why we like it, thinking about content, form, line breaks, voice, syntax and other stylistic aspects, as well as those sparks of vital inspiration.

We'll write together in response to the poems... one of the most enriching things to do in life I believe!

We focus on the wonderful John Burnside in August.

Dates: 4 Aug, 1 Sept, 6 Oct 2026, 10am to 11.15am
Location: Online on Zoom with Cath Drake’s The Verandah
Cost: £37 for three (or book individual sessions)
