Additional Information:The module will continue to treat students as practising poets and, alongside instructing them on craft, editing and voice, will also help them to consider their work in a professional context-( where they might submit poems or pamphlets to for example). The focus will be on in-depth, peer-led but tutor-supervised, analysis and critical discussion of the students’ own work. Guest speakers, readers and masterclasses will also illuminate the student experience.
