Time, Timing and Pace in Poems
Rhythm and pace in a poem can convey a lot of meaning and add levels and tone and develop mood as the poem is being read. This is an important way to convey meaning and tone in the delivery. This is fine when the poem is being read by the poet but how do we build this into the poem so that it conveys to the reader these ideas of how the poem should be read and understood. This can add more interest and meaning to the poem. The course will be conducted online over three weeks, at a cost of £30 – https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=MHPRG2HW9BARJ

Between the Lines
What lies between the lines in a poem and how can this be presented for the reader. This course will look at presenting backstory and foreshadowing and how these can be used to great effect in contemporary poetry. These skills can help add layers of understanding and meaning to a poem. The use of nuance and suggestive possibilities are also included here
