Register for The Poetry Room: May 2025

Course dates: Thursdays 8, 15, 22 and 29 May 2025, 2–4pm UK.

The Poetry Room is a four-week online mini course facilitated by Anthony Anaxagorou. The purpose of The Poetry Room is to find innovative ways of getting poems up on their feet by leading with a series of distinct prompts focused on certain themes and subjects.

These will be generative workshops. Each week poets will meet for two hours on a Thursday afternoon, where Anthony will discuss a number of theoretical elements aimed at enhancing poetic practice then close-read a poem related to the theme of the day’s workshop. From there, poets will be given a set time to respond to the prompt which will then be followed by a secondary instruction and a sharing.

The course is open to all, from those just beginning their poetry journey to the more advanced.

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.

Each course is limited to 15 participants.

Course Fee: £230
