Course 7

POETRY MASTERCLASS
July 19-24 • Gillian Clarke and Carol Ann Duffy
Guest: Robert Minhinnick

Residential: £525 (single); £450 (shared)  COURSE FULL

This is the opportunity for committed poets to move their writing up a gear alongside two of the most successful poets publishing today. This Masterclass will follow a similar pattern to a normal poetry course at Tŷ Newydd. Workshops will encourage discussion of work in progress and there will be ample time devoted to one-to-one tutorials. During the week the tutors will give a reading of their work and participants will contribute to an anthology and a celebratory reading on the Friday. In order that everyone can benefit from a high level of participation poets will be selected.
