Join much-loved local poet and publisher Philip Rush on this six-part Dialect course and use the principle of shuhari to learn the art of poetic form.
Shu is learn the rules; ha is break the rules; ri is transcend the rules.
Participants will learn how to write a sonnet as a foundational form, moving on to blank verse, the stanza, terza rima, troubadour forms and short poems. Participants will create new work and engage critically and constructively with others.
A great opportunity to learn from a true master.
