In this course we'll look at the poem sequence as a device to extend narrative, point of view, theme and formal technique.
We'll read and discuss sequences by contemporary poets and consider their examples as models for our own poems. Participants will be asked to bring drafts in progress with them with a view to creating or honing a sequence during the week.
This course is for experienced poets who wish to experiment with different ways of extending their drafts or who have a particular narrative or theme they would like to explore in more detail.
During the course, group workshops and discussion of published work will take place in the mornings, leaving the afternoons free for writing. |

Tamar will be available for one-to-one sessions, and will meet individually with each member of the group. As some of the sequences under discussion will be quite long, a reading list will be available in advance so that participants can familiarise themselves with the material before the start of the course.
Tamar Yoseloff was born in the US in 1965. She is the author of three poetry collections, most recently Fetch, published by Salt in 2007, as well as Marks, a collaborative book with the artist Linda Karshan, published by Pratt Contemporary Art. She was the editor of A Room to Live In: A Kettle's Yard Anthology. Her upcoming collection, The City with Horns, is due from Salt in May 2011. She has taught for a number of institutions, including Birkbeck, Spread the Word and The Poetry School and has run a number of site-specific writing workshops in venues such as Kettle’s Yard, the Fitzwilliam Museum, Tate St Ives, Sir John Soane’s Museum, the Geffrye Museum, the Foundling Museum and the Old Operating Theatre.
