The Poetry Archivist
Archives are a rich source of inspiration for poetry, and we have world class archives of so many different kinds in London. And yet, they are often untapped as resources for creating and developing poetry. In this course Nick, currently Artist in Residence at London Metropolitan Archive, will lead you through a journey of discovery of London’s diverse archives and how to draw on their collections, and indeed your own personal archives, to create new pieces of poetry that can illuminate both history and our contemporary experience. This practical course will help you develop your poetry writing skills, explore new sources of inspiration, and how to turn documentary materials and archival items into rounded and realised poems. The course will include a tutored day on site at London Metropolitan Archive as part of the Streetlife London project.
