On this course we will explore:
● How the ghosts of metre and rhyme may exist in free
verse, and how to achieve this
● How rhythm is generated within free verse through sonic
devices.
● How rhythms of conversational speech are related to the
rhythm of free verse, and how this produces a form of
elevated speech.
● Rhyme and Rhythm in traditional poetry.
The course will explore one technique each week and concentrate
on workshopping this via the development of a subject during each
session. These sessions will be built from structured inspiration
tasks, discussion and experimentation with ideas and languages.
