Making it Real  
How do you make something in a poem appear real and authentic for the reader?  How can you make something real that is very hard to describe, or make a person in a poem feel like a real person?  How do you avoid cliché and caricature?   These are just some of the issues that we will explore in this short course. The course will be conducted online over 3 weeks at a cost of £30.
