Modern poetry can seem impenetrable and inaccessible. This class may help give you confidence to explore a whole new world. Together we will read and discuss the poems and help each other work out ways of reading and enjoying them. This is a discussion based class led by a tutor who came to poetry through being inspired by other U3AC literature and poetry courses. For complete novices and enthusiasts alike. For those who previously took this class we will follow a similar format but the content will be different. Some preparatory reading is encouraged. There is no basic textbook although a brief list of helpful titles will be provided. Exemplar material and session notes are provided electronically for each class by the facilitator and video clips and wider reading resources are also suggested.
