VERVE POETRY
ONLINE POETRY WORKSHOPS
Autumn Series

Programme of VERVE POETRY WORKSHOPS. online zoom events.

Kim Moore Workshop - The House of Poetry

During this workshop we will be exploring the different ways that we can write about the house – both as a literal and a psychological space.

1 September 2026 at 19:00:00

Ella Duffy Workshop - Notes from Stone

In this workshop, we will read and write poems that focus on and derive ideas from stone. We will look to contemporary poets who engage with the more-than-human, examining how they translate mineral stillness into poetry.

22 September 2026 at 19:00:00

Richard Scott Workshop - The Burning Haibun and a Little Bit of Tarot

If an American sonnet might be, in the words of Terrance Hayes, 'a little room in a house set aflame' then how might we set fire to and queer existing poetic forms in the hunt to find our own?

20 October 2026 at 12:00:00

Jane Yeh Workshop - Focus on Film

We’ll take inspiration from film techniques like splicing, editing, flashback, and montage, as well as images or characters from selected movies or music videos.

10 November 2026 at 19:00:00

Hannah Copley Workshop - Turning inwards to write outwards:

It's easy to claim that all poetry is, in some way or another, about itself, but what does it mean to consciously write an Ars Poetica poem or even create a poetic manifesto?

8 September 2026 at 19:00:00

Daljit Nagra Workshop - Poeticising the Self

Daljit will explore ways we can present our own lives in relation to the environment in which we grew up in and live in.

6 October 2026 at 19:00:00

Anthony Vahni Capildeo Workshop - The Music of Memory:

Taking inspiration from the poetic forms of Romantic and Victorian sentimental souvenirs and 20th century French café music, and paying attention to the sounds of nature and our lived environments, we shall create 'album leaves' of our own.

27 October 2026 at 19:00:00

Jennifer Wong Workshop - Between erasure and imagination

To erase is political. In the making and interpretation of erasure poems, we make purposeful yet spontaneous choices in the way we handle a meaningful found text or fragment or archive material.

17 November 2026 at 19:00:00

Ian Duhig Workshop - The Poem Repair Shop

In this repairative virtual one-time poem workshopping group, workshop attendees are invited to send Ian a poem that they are stuck with — in any style or form.

15 September 2026 at 19:00:00

Rachel Long Workshop - Narrative Poetry:

Portals, Time Travel and How to Slant and Disrupt Narrative.

13 October 2026 at 12:00:00

Alexandra Corrin-Tachibana Workshop - Skinship:

In the broadest sense of the word. How might zuihitsu, haibun and tanka be a vehicle for voicing intimate matters?

3 November 2026 at 19:00:00

VERVE Poetry Press Workshop - The Meaning of Form

We talk a lot about how poetic form can be used to have an impact on rhythm, scantion and pace in poetry.
