The mornings will be spent in creative workshops and discussion and the afternoons free for writing and for one-to-one tutorials. Everyone can book at least one hour of individual tuition with Pascale during the week and she will be on hand to chat informally throughout the course. Contemporary poems will be used as models, so bring a few of your favourite poems by published poets, discoveries that have fuelled your writing. There will also be a chance for constructive group feedback on your work and advice on editing and getting published. Bring some of your existing work with you to share and to read in the evenings, as well as large notebooks and a laptop computer if you have one.
About Pascale
Pascale has extensive experience as a tutor and many of her students have gone on to win prizes and publish first collections. As a writing tutor she aims to help poets develop and refresh their own voice and to write more imaginatively. She also has taught courses for The Poetry School on getting a first collection published. She was a co-founding tutor of The Poetry School and co-edited Tying the Song, its first anthology. She currently tutors for Oxford University, Tate Modern, the Arvon Foundation and Taliesin Trust and is a mentor for Spread the Word’s The Complete Works project. She was the Royal Literary Fellow at Middlesex University in 2007–9 and has led workshops in Kazakhstan for the British Council. She edited Poetry London for fifteen years so can give an editor’s view of the editing and publishing process.
Pascale has published four poetry collections including The Huntress and The Zoo Father, which were both shortlisted for the TS Eliot Prize and were ‘books of the year’ in The Times Literary Supplement. Her latest collection is The Treekeeper’s Tale (Seren, 2008) and forthcoming from Seren in 2010, What the Water Gave Me – Poems after Frida Kahlo.
