Poetry School: First Steps 2026
Tue 14 Jul 2026 to Tue 11 Aug 2026
The Poetry School have launched a brand-new Beginners' workshop series led by Isabelle Baafi, designed to support your first steps into writing poetry in a friendly and accessible way.

These sessions are open-to-all and there is no requirement to take either one first! Please find the upcoming dates below:

Finding Inspiration Tuesday 14 July, 6.30-9pm (BST) [Zoom]
Have you always wanted to write poetry but never known where to start? Or have you recently begun to put pen to paper and are now looking for guidance and support? In this fun, interactive, beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll spend time discussing what makes poetry a unique art form, how you can find and sharpen your voice, and how you can draw inspiration from everyday life.

A Closer Look Tuesday 11 August, 6.30-9pm (BST) [Zoom]
Are you new to writing poetry and still unsure about how to find inspiration or hone your voice? In this fun, interactive, beginner-friendly workshop, you’ll consider the different ‘ways in’ to a poem, and the various modes for using voice, perspective and address to write poems that are fresh, surprising and unique.
