In this studio course, we’ll draw on a range of poems to illustrate the effects of different points of view. With one assignment per week, taking a new perspective each time, you’ll be able to experiment with voice in three distinct ways.

Drawing on a range of materials, including writing guides, prose and poetry, this fast-moving course will get you changing your position at every turn.

Studios are 4-week intensive courses. Reading material will be distributed before the course begins. There are no live chats so they are suitable for both UK & International students.
