‘The sessions are always inspiring, generating new understanding of how language, image and form affect the reader. As a face-to-face seminar, it brings me closer to the living poetry scene of the area, it helps me to be an active participant in local and online events, it encourages me to develop my own work. Has that changed my life? Yes indeed.’
