What writers think about Your Anthology Misses You:


"It's been a delight to be introduced to poems I didn't know and to journey through them as part of a supportive and curious community. It's absolutely reignited my love of poetry and now the sessions have ended I still have all these threads to follow for myself and I feel excited!"


"I loved how you gave us permission to splurge and then to keep coming back to it, it felt so freeing not having to share it and knowing there was no pressure."


"You have been the perfect guide, your appreciation for the poems and poets has been infectious and I thought you paced things beautifully, giving space for our reflections and sharing your own."


"A total joy. A little sliver of time to expose the softness of the heart, to check in with yourself and to feel the cavalcade of human emotions that are so often tucked away in day to day life. A creative therapy session with gentle prizing of what matters most to you in the carefully considered prompts."


"I haven't taken time for something purely for myself, without function or necessity for such a long time before this. Rusty is an understatement, but through everything you have formed here, I thought the course was deliciously transporting, so accessible and incredibly welcoming. Such a vehement thank you."

Frequently asked questions

Who is the course for?

Anyone who misses their English lessons. Anyone who wants to get into poetry, but doesn't know where to start. Frazzled readers, frustrated writers, and busy parents who want time to themselves in the Easter-bonnet madness.

I've never written anything before; can I come?

Yes! The course is set up for beginners. The writing sessions will be guided, and we won't be sharing what we've written - it's just for you.

What should I bring?

Notebook and pen. Pyjamas and cats welcome!

Do I have to be on camera/contribute to discussion?

No! There will be space for discussion but it's not at all necessary - you can stay quiet and anonymous for the whole time if you prefer.

Can I just come to one evening?

Yes, the ticketing is set up so that you can pay for each session individually, or pay for all at once at a discount.

When will the Zoom link be sent out?

The Zoom link for each evening will be sent out via email, a couple of days before each session.
