Sue Leigh Poetry

New course run by Sue Leigh...

New 4-Day Course on Thursdays, 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th October, 2021

The Beautiful Ordinary: Encountering Poems

The Friends Meeting House, Pitt’s Lane, Burford  OX18 4SJ

Sessions will begin at 10.30am and end at noon.

Over four weekly sessions we will consider how we might begin to read

a poem, what we might look for, what questions we might ask ourselves.

We will explore and discuss such concepts as meaning and difficulty, voice,

the relationship between form and content, cultural context and we’ll also consider the importance of sound, lineation and imagery. We will discover how poetry enables us to encounter the world in a new way.

The cost for the course is £60. All materials will be provided. Please contact me if you are interested: info@sueleighpoetry.com
