Poetry School: Jaws at 50 (‘You’re Gonna Need a Bigger Class’) with Simon Barraclough
Sat 5 Jul 2025 to Sat 5 Jul 2025
In this one-day workshop to mark the half-century of one of the most influential films ever made, we will analyse scenes, discuss technique, tease out themes, look at Jaws poems, explore personal reactions, and write new work in response to this enduring leviathan of modern cinema.
What is a ‘Spielberg oner’ and can we reproduce it in verse? How do we approach the legendary USS Indianapolis speech in poetry? What do we make of the psychosexual politics of Jaws? What do we make of the class politics of Jaws? What do we make of the plain old-fashioned politics of Jaws in the era of Vietnam and Watergate?
All this and more will be explored on (or as near as we can make it to) the Fourth of July! Come on in, the water’s lovely.
Date: 10.30am–4.30pm (BST) on 5 July 2025
Location: The Poetry Cafe, 22 Betterton St, London WC2H 9BX
