THE POETRY ROOM
ONLINE POETRY GROUP
The next Poetry Room four-week online course will take place in May 2026, for four weeks from 7 May meeting each Thursday afternoon 2–4pm UK.
What is The Poetry Room?
I designed the Poetry Room so that each week we can take a proper look at a distinct part of poetry writing. I didn’t want to create another generic workshop space that sets participants the task of writing into a basic prompt, but rather to think of poetry as a kind of physics, or an expansive lens that not only inspects and dissects a poem but extracts a kind of thinking we can use to enhance and push our own writing.
Duration and Registration:
Course dates: Thursdays 7 May, 14 May, 21 May and 28 May 2026, 2–4pm UK.
Course Fee: £230
Each course is limited to 15 participants. Course delivery will be via Zoom. In the event that you are unable to attend a workshop, we can send you a link to a video recording of that session to watch back.

“I can’t recommend The Poetry Room highly enough. Anthony creates an inspiring creative space to explore new ways of thinking & working. I particularly love the encouraging and incisive feedback on our week-old poems. By far, the most productive poetry space I know.”
— Simon Maddrell
“I keep coming back to The Poetry Room because it’s the most generative workshop I’ve attended, and is always both challenging and supportive. Anthony’s teaching has a way of encouraging you to think in new ways about both reading and writing poetry. I’ve written a lot, learnt a lot, and met many wonderful poets in the Room”
— Sophia Argyris
