A non-accredited creative writing course

Course Description

This half-day workshop will discuss avoidance, twistiness, and hints in poetry. Can we get closer to the truth by not saying things outright? How much can we ask the reader to search for between the lines? We’ll look at magnificently unreliable narrators, such as that of Ian Duhig’s ‘The Lammas Hireling’, and discuss techniques for writing about one thing, but meaning another.
