Course 10 Book a Place on this course EXTENDED POETRY August 18-23 • Daljit Nagra and Pascale Petit Guest:Zoe Brigley Residential: £520 (single)  £460 (shared)  Tŷ Newydd extended courses have been designed to combine the advantages of distance-learning and face-to-face tuition. They provide the opportunity for you to submit your work and receive helpful and specific advice from the tutors before, during and after the course.    Students submit a selection of their work to a tutor before the residential course begins and receive a written report back, either before or at the start of their course. This initial tutorial acts as a diagnostic process, allowing your tutor to see your work, understand your development as a writer and respond accordingly.  The residential course itself follows the normal pattern of courses at Tŷ Newydd with tutorials, workshops and readings. Work is then submitted to the tutors after the course for further comment. For further details see below.*

PASCALE PETIT’s two latest collections, The Huntress and The Zoo Father (Seren), were both shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Prize. Her fourth collection The Treekeeper’s Tale is published by Seren this July. She was Poetry Editor of Poetry London, tutors for The Poetry School, Oxford University and is the Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Middlesex University. www.pascalepetit.co.uk

DALJIT NAGRA currently lives in Willesden where he works in a secondary school. Look We Have Coming to Dover! (Faber) won the 2007 Forward Prize for Best First Collection and has been shortlisted for the 2007 Costa Poetry Award.
