    Master

  • Location

    Norwich

The MA in Poetry is for anyone who has been writing poetry for long enough to know that it is a vital part of his or her life, and who now wants to develop further, through expert guidance and in a committed group of like-minded peers.
A key part of UEA’s world-renowned Creative Writing provision, the MA is taught by widely published and award-winning poets such as Tiffany Atkinson, Sophie Robinson and Denise Riley, and is closely linked with the innovative UEA Poetics Project.
At its core is the weekly workshop, a supportive but rigorous environment in which to test and refine your poetic technique. There’s also a module on Describing Poetry and a diverse range of relevant options. You will have regular individual tutorials and receive detailed written feedback on your work, meet distinguished poets, editors and publishers, and develop a body of work close in length to a first collection.

Course programme

The core element of the course is the weekly three-hour workshop in a group of around 12 students. The workshop structure varies but generally consists of close critical discussion of the work of three students plus a session on some aspect of poetry. Work is circulated a week in advance and annotated in detail before being returned to its author. The tutor may also circulate texts for discussion.

In addition to the weekly workshop, the MA includes a course on describing poetry as well as a number of optional modules ranging from publishing to translation. You will receive regular individual tutorials and extensive written feedback on your coursework.

There is no workshop in the summer semester (May to June), during which time you have one-to-one sessions with your dissertation tutor. In July and August you work independently, although you may, with your peers, continue the workshop in some form. Over this period you will write your dissertation, which is a body of poetry and a critical commentary on it.
