Led by WB’s poetry tutor, Mandy Pannett, members have the chance to explore and develop their poetry writing skills. It is a place to kick-start and develop your poems with constructive feedback from your poetry peers.
Every month a prompt is provided for members to respond to. There is the chance to attend a Zoom session to discuss the prompt and start writing. A space is provided on the website for you to share your work and receive constructive feedback from your fellow poets. You can also read the contributions of other club members. Mandy looks at the work and briefly adds some of her own comments.
Members are encouraged to learn from, and help, each other under the guidance of Mandy.
Monthly Timetable:
Start of each month: The prompt appears in the club house on our website. You are provided with some suggested reading to help you gather your thoughts and ideas.
Second Tuesday of each month at 7.30PM: Mandy leads an hour long Zoom session where you will discuss the prompt and have time to start writing. Don't worry if you can't make it. The session are recorded and made available in the members area for you to watch.
Members can share their poems inspired by the prompt in the club house, at any time during the month, for feedback from fellow members. We expect the poems to be mainly works in progress rather than finished pieces.
Fourth Tuesday of each month: Poems must be uploaded by this date when Mandy will go through the poems and add some light commentary.
Poets of all levels and experience are welcome, including beginners.
