Summing up week four

Dr Alexandra Kingston-Reese, our course convener, sums up the material that we have covered in week four of our course, ‘How to Read a Poem’.

This week, we’ve explored writing and poetry, even chancing our hand at writing some poetry ourselves.

Over to you

After studying poetry with us for the last three weeks, how did it feel to have a go at writing your own this week?

Now that we’ve reached the end of our four-week course together, you might like to reflect on your journey as a reader. Have you discovered new poems? Have you learned new ways to discuss and enjoy poetry? Have you been inspired to write a paragraph or two offering your own reading of a poem?

Tell us what you have found most rewarding about our work together, and if it is has helped you to feel more confident about poetry.

Let us know in the comments.
