The Academy Mini offers the opportunity to learn from tutors who are both experienced poet practitioners and teachers, and the time and structure to focus on your poetry in a supportive environment, comprising:

• two-hour tutor-led classes each week from 7–9pm UK on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and

• a scheduled half hour individual tutorial each week. 

The programme is designed around a weekly tutor rotation. You will receive two weeks of teaching and tutorials from each of our two fantastic tutors. 

Workshops and tutorials will be delivered via Zoom. You will have access to a dedicated classroom space on Padlet, where you will be able to access course materials and ask any questions, as well as a Padlet board where you can share poems, feedback and discussion with the other members of your cohort.

Workshops are recorded and the recordings will be made available to you, password-protected on our Vimeo, the day after each session. At the end of the course you will receive a handout collating the course materials, as well as links to the session recordings, to revisit in future.

Course delivery is wholly online. We welcome applications from students anywhere in the world, but applicants should note that all teaching is provided in evenings UK time.
