Have you always wanted to try your hand at writing poems for children? Maybe you already do? Maybe you have had poems published or even a collection? It really doesn’t matter. This one-day course will fire you up with inspiration and starting points. You will meet fellow poets and come out of it buzzing with ideas and maybe even a fistful of poems. Poets who attended Carole’s previous course, If all the land were apple pie, are very welcome. All the exercises will be new.
