The Discovering Poetry course, which initially ran between 2010 and 2023, will have three centres of study:
iambic pentameter, the Greek for five beats.
The same thing in English is termed Blank Verse, the language of Shakespeare, Milton and others;
Prose, also present in both the plays of Shakespeare and in the novels of Jane Austen, born 250 years ago this year.
Other verse forms, both light and serious.
From the second week onwards each week we will be both studying poetry and writing our own.
Classes will be held online via Zoom.
