Poetry daunts me. Tutorials were stimulating and mentioned some poets I didnt know. Prompted to explore other work. My take home is keep a list of favourites, always use a notebook and think it through.

It is a privilege to hear advice and suggestions from a real working poet who calls on her own experience. She is searingly honest, down to earth and practical. It feels like a private fireside chat with an inspirational and encouraging friend

This was such a useful insight into not just the process of poetry writing but also sparking creative inspiration. I found the idea for entry points for writing poems particularly helpful. As someone new to writing, I found the practical real life suggestions something that I could apply easily. I feel reinvigorated to write.

Very interesting perspective on writing poetry . Easy to follow and Carol Ann Duffy gives lots of tips of how to start exploring poetry in your own way and exploring your own creativity. Yet to start writing as 1/2 way through course.

This is one of the best courses on writing poetry I have ever participated in. I wish she would offer more courses; I would take them all.

I enjoyed the way Duffy broke the course into units so I can refer to the excellent notes again with ease. I thought the setting somewhat conservative and would have liked something contemporary. I've already bought some of the recommended reading as I live remotely and library resources are lacking. It was a great course :)

She delivers her message in a measured helpful non-pushy way. I like her gentle approach and she strikes me as a woman from whom helpful criticism would flow smoothly.
