We are running a series of exciting courses tutored by fresh voices from The New Poets Collective. These courses are designed to be dynamic, affordable, and accessible one-off workshops with brilliant, burgeoning voices.
Expect innovative themes, cutting edge techniques, and exciting new tutors.

Making in the Margins with April Yee
Writing in the often-forgotten zones. Where can a poet from the margins find space to write? The footnote, the citation, the alt text: all of these are potential sites for creative play.

Location: Somerset House, Strand, London, WC2R 1LA.
Cost: £45

Blurring Empire: A Visual Poetry Workshop with Rona Luo
How does visual poetry make space for multiplicity? By playing with the page as a visual and communal space, we will explore non-linear and interactive possibilities in poetry to create new modes of reading and writing.

Location: Somerset House, Strand, London, WC2R 1LA
Cost: £45
