This sounds good - Poetry Trust


But you can't apply as I want to and I don't want any competition from you lot. OK?

The Poetry Trust has run an Advanced Seminar (with  funding from Jerwood 2006-2009), aimed at poets working towards a first or second collection. These intensive, five-day seminars all took place at Bruisyard Hall, near Saxmundham, Suffolk and were tutored by Michael Laskey and Peter Sansom and saw poets work in depth on their manuscripts, looking at other poets exemplary first collections in the process, and also create new work. The success of these seminars is evident by the calibre and ensuing success of many the poets who have taken part - e.g. Allison McVety, Katrina Naomi, Ed Reiss, Philip Rush and Kathryn Simmonds.
