				<p class="auto-style11"><b>Starts 5 October 2026<o:p></o:p></b></p>
				<p class="auto-style11">How do you know when a poem has 
				finished? This three-week course explores the art of creating 
				memorable endings through surprise, resonance, ambiguity and 
				restraint. Through practical exercises, you’ll experiment with 
				different approaches and develop a stronger instinct for knowing 
				when a poem has said enough.<o:p></o:p></p>

				tools available to a poet. Over three weeks, we’ll explore 
				memory, tense, chronology and the movement between past and 
				present, experimenting with ways to stretch moments, compress 
				years and make time work harder in your poems.<o:p></o:p></p>
