Poetry Workshops

‘I never started a poem yet whose end I knew.
Writing a poem is discovering.’

Robert Frost

Would you like to write?  Don’t know where to start? 
Poetry writing workshops are informal and designed to be inspirational.  Many beginners find the company of like-minded others in a workshop situation helps them get started. The results may be shared with others in the group (or not) and refined in peer group reviews. Workshops will be led by experienced poets who will encourage, support and advise.

Affiliation
Poetry Teignmouth  is loosely affiliated to Moor Poets, the Dartmoor-based writers’ organisation, for the mutual benefit of both organisations.
