two In-person workshops at the trinity rooms, stroud, starting SEPTEMBER 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. 
— Emily Barker

After the success of his first round of courses at the Trinity Rooms, which ran from January to March, then April to June, poet Adam Horovitz will be running two consecutive workshops on Tuesday and Wednesday nights from September 17th and 18th.

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 for the muse. Adam will guide students through the tangled landscape of getting started, or bump-started after a long hiatus, writing poetry, and allow them time, space and permission to write freely.

The Tuesday night sessions are suitable for people returning after the course that started in April 2024, and for anyone feeling a little more confident in their writing. The Wednesday course 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.

Each course costs £120 for ten weeks. There are also two concessionary places available, priced £60, on each course. There are 12 places available on each course.

A deposit will be required, with payment in full at the start of the course. Please contact Adam using the contact form at the bottom of this page if you would like to discuss booking. If you have any further questions about the courses, please feel free to ask. 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.

The courses take place in person at the Trinity Rooms, Field Road, Stroud, Gloucestershire, GL5 2HZ. The first course runs from Tuesday 17th September to 19th November between 7.30pm and 9.30pm. The second course runs from Wednesday 18th September to 20th November between 5.3opm and 7.30pm.
