Year 13 Poetry Workshops with Archive Poet-in-Residence Sophie Mayer
http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/schools/docs/OnQ/114498.pdf
The Archive and the School of English and Drama at Queen Mary are hosting two poetry and performance workshops in November for year 13 students.
These workshop will be led by poet-in-residence and lecturer Sophie Mayer and will use familiar new media to engage students with excitingly unfamiliar poetry. Through the twists and turns of listening to the Archive, students will hear how poetry makes things new, and by hearing the variety of language use and ideas, they will grow in confidence in asking questions of literary texts and learn new strategies for answering them. This will be an exciting and fun introduction to poetry that will enhance students’ understanding of the curriculum. Students don’t need to be English literature specialists but some interest in poetry would be beneficial.
The workshop on Wednesday 6 November from 3-5pm is now fully booked but there is space available in the workshop for 23 November 3-5pm.
