This dynamic course invites writers of all experience levels to rediscover the joy and spontaneity at the heart of poetry – whether you’re a seasoned poet seeking fresh inspiration or a curious newcomer, this course with Fiona Wright aims to play and experiment, and let unexpected beauty emerge.

Over six lessons, we’ll dismantle the barriers of perfectionism through playful exercises, collaborative creation, and gentle risk-taking. Participants will explore techniques that transform ordinary language into extraordinary expression: constraint-based writing that paradoxically liberates, sensory immersion that sharpens observation, and improvisation games that bypass self-censorship and help you get ‘unstuck.’

We’ll dive into diverse poetic traditions that celebrate playfulness. Each class balances structured experimentation with thoughtful reflection on craft. You’ll leave with surprising new work, practical tools to enliven your creative practice, and a refreshed relationship with language itself. Most importantly, you’ll rediscover what often gets lost in serious literary pursuit and big projects: the pure, electric joy of playing with words.

This course, Online: Finding your Poetic Voice with Fiona Wright, will take place online.
