Poetry Workshop

The Path Back...

This is a chance to recover past experience!

Childhood holds many key memories which are really moments of intense realisation. The workshop offers opportunities to explore ways of returning to the past and shaping imagination and experience into poetry.

Alongside a range of writing activities, we will also look at selected poems by Andrew Forster, focusing on the form and language he uses to evoke what he describes as those ‘tiny moments’ which really have ‘huge significance.’

It's all happening on Tuesday 15th May 2012, at our usual time, 7.30, and place, Sulgrave S008.

Hilary Lewis, who is giving the workshop, is a poetry and creative writing tutor with the WEA, and also lectures part-time in the English Department at De Montfort University.
Her passion for poetry began early and she studied English at the University of Nottingham and then went on to become an English teacher. Her love of teaching poetry means she enjoys both encouraging students to develop their analytical skills and supporting and encouraging writers.
