Behind the Words
A poem can say one thing and mean another. How do we manage complexity as a poetic resource? Without contrivance, can we introduce more than one layer of meaning and invest our poems with the richness of ambiguity, without confusing the issue or the reader? Please send up to six poems, in duplicate, with your booking form to Totleigh Barton by May 21st 2008.
This course can not be booked online because it is Advanced and requires you to submit some of your writing. Please download the booking form by clicking Book This Course and submit your application (using cheque or credit card) to submit by post. We only cash your cheque or take the £150 deposit off your card if you are Selected.
