Robert Frost wrote that a poem ‘begins in delight and ends in wisdom’; but in saying so he was keeping one or two tricks up his sleeve. Just what kind of craft is needed to turn delight into wisdom? And how do we find the appropriate figure for a poem? Exploring rhythm, tone and the properties of the poem, and using a combination of group work and one-to-one supervision, this course will explore the act of writing and rewriting, of surprise and craft, and that most exciting moment of all: as the figure of the poem takes shape.

Highgreen Arts is based in unspoiled, open moorland in the Northumberland National Park. To find out more visit www.highgreen-arts.co.uk
