WHAT IS INVOLVED ?

A Poetry School Small Group seminar is a series of eight monthly sessions, each lasting two-and-a-half hours. My seminars are held as above at my house in Holborn (directions attached) and there are either 6 or 7 poets (the same people each month throughout the series) in a seminar group. 

On any one evening or afternoon, you will have something like 15 minutes for your

‘slot’, in which to read your poem (not more than a page and a half, or a minute or so of reading time), listen to the discussion of the poem by the others, and then comment on the experience. (Members of this and other groups have invariably found the feedback supportive,

unthreatening, clear, honest and helpful). In every other case, you will be able to take part in the discussion.

The other members of the groups are at varying stages of development in their work.

The one-to-one tutorials are designed for poets and translators of poetry seeking in-depth critical feedback on their work.

Graham Fawcett’s tutorials are held at the Poetry School in Lambeth Walk (nearest tube stations Lambeth North or Waterloo, and well served too by buses).

Generous feedback, written notes and guidance are provided during the session but please note that no further correspondence can be entered into.

The basic tutorial comprises an hour of preparation by the tutor (on submission of a typescript of not more than 200 lines of poetry) and an hour’s meeting with the poet, for which the fee is £80, although this time-frame can be extended by prior arrangement for both preparation and tuition, for example when a longer poem or a whole collection is to be discussed.

E-tutorials follow the same pattern as tutorials, the one hour's preparation + one hour's meeting being replaced by a 1,000 word e-mail appraisal of the work submitted.

If you would like to arrange a tutorial or e-tutorial, please contact Edwina Dethridge at the Poetry School on 0207 582 1679 or write to her at administration@poetryschool.com
