Develop yourself as a poetic artist and learn how to position your work in the poetry world. Writing, developing and refining a full-length manuscript is a significant phase in a poet’s journey, whether for their debut collection or as part of a new direction in their poetic practice. This course will empower you to write a manuscript of a full-length poetry collection with expert, one-to-one guidance from an established poet within the unique poetry environment here at Leeds. Your project supervisor will offer detailed feedback, advice on directions for development and revision, reading suggestions, and guidance on presenting your work in public. They will also support you in identifying potential platforms for your work within contemporary poetic practice, with the aim of targeting appropriate agents, publishers, and other opportunities for circulation after graduation.
