POETRY MASTERCLASS •
July 23 – 28 • Gillian Clarke and Carol Ann Duffy
Guest: Imtiaz Dharker
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 Ty 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. Details of how to apply for a place can be obtained from Ty Newydd.
