two In person workshops at the trinity rooms, stroud starting april 2024

For the past few years I’ve been sending my poems to Adam who continues to shed light on the elusive art of writing poetry and guide me in developing my practise. He has a wealth of knowledge to offer and I’m grateful for his constructive criticism, for pushing me to the core of the poem, and for his enthusiasm towards my work.

UPDATE: The Tuesday night course has now sold out. There are FOUR places left on the Wednesday EARLY evening course, including one concessionary space.

After the success of his first course at the Trinity Rooms, which ran from January to March, poet Adam Horovitz will be running two consecutive workshops on Tuesday and Wednesday nights from April 16th or 17th.

On these 10 week courses, participants will be invited to explore the writing of poetry, offering ways in to new writers and fresh sources of inspiration for people who have need of a jump start to the muse. Adam will guide two groups through the tangled landscape of getting started, or bump-started after a long hiatus, writing poetry.

The courses will suit beginners, improvers and anyone seeking a burst of fresh inspiration. Each two hour session over the ten weeks will include workshop prompts, discussion and constructive critique of writing generated on the night and of poems brought in or written as part of the previous week’s homework.

The Tuesday night sessions are suitable for people returning after the course that started in January 2024, and anyone feeling a little more confident in their writing. The Wednesday evening sessions are suitable for everyone from beginners on up.

Each course costs £100 for ten weeks. There are also two concessionary places available, priced £50, on each course.

A deposit will be required, with payment in full at the start of the course. Please contact Adam using the form at the bottom of this page if you would like to discuss booking.

The courses take place in person at the Trinity Rooms, Field Road, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL5 2HZ. The first course runs from Tuesday 16th April to 18th June between 7.30pm and 9.30pm. The second course runs from Wednesday 17th April to 19th June between 5pm and 7pm.

To discuss booking, please contact Adam using the contact form at the bottom of the page.

If you are able to donate some money to help enable someone who could not otherwise afford it to take part in the course, or if you are unable to participate in person but would be interested in an online course, please also contact Adam using the form below.
