Finding the Poem Set 3 with Paul Lyalls NB: 5 WEEKS, DUE TO THE BANK HOLIDAY

This is a course for anyone who wants to liberate their creativity and immerse themselves in the joy of language. Playful, fun, entertaining, enlightening – explore your word power with Paul Lyalls. Full of off-kilter pen to paper tangoing, including an Edinburgh Festival Comedy approach to humour in poetry, scuba diving what you’ve been surviving via a trip to India!

Enjoy this set of 6 workshops, one of 4 separate sets which can be taken in any order.

Week 1) How to show fast and slow (momentum in writing)

Week 2) Heart and soul of the people we know (not T’pau)

Week 3) Rooms

Week 4) Wants and desire via a road trip to India

Week 5) The cinema within a moment

A note to prose writers: have you ever wondered what it is like to write in the poetic form? Perhaps you write in prose automatically, but would like to try to use language in another way. If your fiction needs a lift, if your life-writing needs lilt, if your central characters don’t quite sing (or even if they do!) you can free your writing through poetry.

Monday evenings: 6.30-9pm. Jan 10, 17, 24, 31, Feb 7. £100. Email kate@collage-arts.org to reserve your place and receive a payment link. Virtual Writing Room via ZOOM.
