Another quick blog post with some updates about the Poetry Carousel residential course I’m running from the 7th-10th December 2018 with co-tutors Sean O’Brien, Andrew McMillan and Fiona Sampson. I’m very happy to announce that we have the fantastic…
Guest Poets for the 2017 Poetry Carousel
Another brief interruption of the ’16 Days of Action’ posts. With less than a week to go before the 2017 Poetry Carousel, I thought I’d reveal the mystery guest poets for this year’s course, and the dates and guest tutors…
