Sign up to this one-off free online taster session to learn about radical Poetry. If you like it, you can sign up to the eight-week online course that will start on Thursday 8th of May with hour-long sessions taking place between 6pm - 7pm (BST) every following Thursday for 8 weeks.

This eight-week introductory course to radical poetry will look at historical and contemporary poems in the context of revolutionary struggles for liberation. Each session will involve a selection of readings, writing prompts, feedback and open conversations.

The course will be facilitated by Oli Isaac (they/them), an award-winning poet, playwright and activist based in London. They are an alumni of writing collectives from the Soho Theatre, the Roundhouse and the Barbican Centre, and a current member of Barbican Creatives in Solidarity with Palestine (BCSP).

This course is open to beginners - no prior experience with poetry is required. Those with more experience are also welcome. Expect a gentle, low-pressure learning environment. Join us for an exploration of radical poetry that connects past and present struggles, inspires action, and reclaims language for liberation.
