In recent years this has been borne out
by the fact that everything from local newspapers to mass
market weeklies and monthlies carry some Poetry. The scope
of the market for Poetry has been increasing anually, a
trend that seems likely to continue. With more and more
specialist publishers looking for poets, poetry readings
and festivals, awards and competitions is a trend that has
led the Writing School to produce a course that satisfies
this growing demand.
This course is about the making of a poet
- You!
Writing poetry is a creative and imaginative
process but getting it published is a very practical one.
Our Poetry Writing Course is a clear and detailed course
which will show you how to get your poetry into print.
Together with the help of your tutor,
you will develop both yourself as a poet and your poetic
works. Anyone with a love of words can write a poem. The
Writers Craft Poetry Writing Course is designed to teach
you how it can be done quickly and easily, and in doing
so will take the mystique out of this most invigorating
form of writing.
Written in a practical format, our course
recognises that Poetry Writing is part inspiration and part
construction. Thats why The Poets Message is such an
important part of the course. You are taught to think of
your message in terms of lyrics, sonnets, ballads, natural
poems, even metaphysical poetry. To express your message
you must understand the subtle shades in the use of poetic
language. So, your tutor will help you get a feel for rhyme
and rhythm, show you how to use a metaphor, alliteration
and onomatopoeia; and guide you through the problems of
line division and meter.
Poetry should never be formula-written
- so we dont try and get you writing to a set formula.
But we do teach you how you can draw inspiration from other
poets; and how you can develop your own sense of poetic
language and construction. From the first spark of an idea
to the final version you will analyse every aspect of the
whole formation of poetry in detail.
Our course gives you a combination of fresh
insight and lets you communicate your innermost thoughts
and feelings in the most effective metrical form.
With the excitement of this very special
craft and expert tuition, the Writers Craft will show you
how to explore your skills and show you what works, what
does not, and why!
