FREE | Pen to Print: Beginners Poetry Classes
November 6, 2021 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am EDT
Free
About this event
Session Three: Autumn
First hour: we will look at and write poems on the theme of Autumn
Second hour: bring a poem you have written and get feedback on how to improve it.
These two-hour sessions are divided between producing new work and workshopping poems you have already written. Workshopping helps to improve your work, so it is really important. Bring a poem you have written but feel it could do with more work – be prepared to accept helpful feedback. Load your poem for feedback onto our poetry classroom on Google Classrooms.
If you are just starting to write poetry and need to build up your skills and confidence this is for you. Get the basics and have the opportunity to obtain guidance on your initial approach to writing and developing your ideas. Whether you want to write for pleasure or prepare your work for entering poetry competitions this course is for you.
If you are not sure if this class is for you or would like more information, please contact us to discuss. Ask the organiser or email: [email protected].

Please note:
The Valley of Writers team scours the web looking for the most inspiring, elevating, and accessible events that we can share as a service to our readers.
The big idea is that in a virtual arena, more people can participate. Geographical boundaries matter less.
The events we list are virtual and can be attended by writers from wherever they are in the world.
Unless otherwise stated, we are not affiliated with and do not benefit financially from the events we post. Listing is not an endorsement of the content, opinions, or products promoted by the event organizers we feature here.
Please verify all dates, times and other event details as these are subject to change and are beyond our control.
What qualifies an event as ‘lit’? Any event that we think would teach writers of fiction, memoir, and poetry useful skills, inspire them to produce great work, remind them of the power of this work we do and build stronger, mutually beneficial ties between writers and other creatives.
