SCHOOL VISIT INFORMATION:
TEACHING AND BOOK GROUP RESOURCES:
I teach creative writing to undergraduate medical students and scientists at Imperial College Centre for Languages, Culture and Communications The young people I work with are brilliant and hard-working individuals who thrive on the opportunity to develop their creativity.
This term I have really enjoyed teaching medical students at Southampton in a series of 7 poetry workshops as part of their special study module in the medical humanities.
I’ve taught workshops Poetry as Reflective Practice, Writing the Self Through Myth and How To Get Your Poetry Published for a range of audiences. Contact me if you’d like to know more.
