Online Workshop with award-winning poet & editor Felicity Plunkett
Re-writing is an art, and having an interested and imaginative interlocutor can be fantastically enabling. US poet and teacher Steve Kowitt has said that ‘if there is a “secret” to writing it is rewriting, a process that can be every bit as exciting as getting the first draft down on paper.’
This workshop offers that opportunity, and invites you to take a draft or drafts and develop it/them over a four-week online course, with feedback designed to challenge and encourage you as you rewrite a poem or suite and take it further through revision and reappraisal. Each participant will receive feedback from the tutor, poet and editor Felicity Plunkett, on one poem per week, as well as links, suggestions and discussion and feedback from other members of the group. This is an interactive workshop designed to help you develop and refine your poetic practice.
Dates: Monday 30th July – Monday 27th August
Cost: $20
