Poetry School Play: Adventure
Playful prompts, poetry games, pure fun. Join our next monthly play time session!
* This course will take place on the video-conferencing platform ZOOM *
Session 2: Choose your Own Adventure Poems
Cut loose and get creative! In these monthly sessions, join Nick Murray for an hour of playful prompts and poetry games. Aimed at poets of all levels and experience, these sessions are a chance to colour outside the poetic lines, with no expectations beyond having fun, experimenting, and trying something new.
Sessions draw from all manner of poetic origins and participants will be invited to try their hand at physical and digital poetry experiments. At the end of the hour you’ll have some new ideas you can take away, and just might discover something new!
In this session, we will dabble with some of Nick’s favourite digital poetry engines. The session will start with a quick group trip through some exciting online interactive poems and poetic worlds. Then through some gentle prompts we’ll create some new texts and then use them as the kernel for some unexpected interactive poetics. For fans of Choose Your Own Adventure games, hypertext, branching narratives
After each session, join your fellow poetry players on the CAMPUS group to share what you’ve created and to give each other feedback (and a pat on the back)!
1 x 1-hour session, running 7–8pm (BST), on 30 June 2025. This course will take place on the video-conferencing platform ZOOM.

"My confidence about being an able poet grew ever since I started taking Poetry School courses. There were tons of people who were saying this was only a hobby and I managed to break that boundary within myself thanks to Poetry School. Also, I met some very outstanding teachers and terrific fellow poets."
