Making Poetry, founded by Jacqui Rowe in 2008, returns for a new season beginning in April 2009.
New for 2009 is a masterclass from Philip Gross, Professor of Creative Writing at Glamorgan University. After last year's tremendously popular sessions, Mario Petrucci returns for three masterclasses, including the intriguingly titled 'Planets, Plasmas and Penguins". Other new topics include journeys and maps, the shape of poems, putting a collection together and working with other languages.
Writers at all levels of experience are welcome at the workshops and masterclasses.
PLACES ARE STILL AVAILABLE ON ALL WORKSHOPS AND MASTERCLASSES BUT THEY ARE BOOKING UP VERY QUICKLY.OVER A THIRD OF AVAILABLE PLACES WERE TAKEN IN THE WEEK FOLLOWING THE LAUNCH OF THIS YEAR'S PROGRAMME. FOR BOOKING INFORMATION, PLEASE SEE THE PROGRAMME 2009 PAGE.
