This is a wonderful opportunity to discuss your poetry on a one-to-one basis with poet and tutor Maggie Sawkins, a relaxed but in-depth analysis of your poems. Identify strategies for further developing your writing, discuss problems you may be experiencing and look at strategies for taking your work forward. There will be plenty of time to talk about all those things you need to know about writing, revising and submitting your work. Maggie runs four one-hour sessions at the Cathedral Innovation Centre in Portsmouth. £40 for Poetry Society members, £50 for non-members. Book online or call Paul McGrane on 020 8420 9881.
