This is a wonderful opportunity to discuss your poetry on a one-to-one basis with poet and tutor Seni Seneviratne, 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.

Vahni Capildeo, author of Utter, has produced a film of 'A Legend' after Nicholas Laughlin. Give the film a watch, listen to Vahni reading the poem and let us know on social media what you thought. There's always something special, we think, about a poet reading their work, which often brings to life the words in a way that print alone can't. See if you feel the same way.
