Description

As part of the Nottingham UNESCO City of Literature’s Young Ambassadors project, join poet and poetry critic Sandeep Parmar for a special masterclass workshop on the role of the poetry critic, the value of poetry in society, and how to be a poetry critic. Join this masterclass to learn approaches to reviewing, explore questions of style and voice, and modes of critical reading.

Sandeep Parmar is Professor of English Literature at the University of Liverpool, where she co-directs Liverpool’s Centre for New and International Writing. She holds a PhD from University College London and an MA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia. Her books include Reading Mina Loy’s Autobiographies: Myth of the Modern, an edition of the Collected Poems of Hope Mirrlees (Carcanet, 2011), and two books of her own poetry published by Shearsman: The Marble Orchard and Eidolon, winner of the Ledbury Forte Prize for Best Second Collection. Most recently she edited the Selected Poems of Nancy Cunard (Carcanet, 2016). Her essays and reviews have appeared in the Guardian, The Los Angeles Review of Books, the Financial Timesand the Times Literary Supplement. She is a 2015 BBC New Generation Thinker and co-founded the Ledbury Emerging Poetry Critics scheme for BAME reviewers.

This masterclass is suitable for ages 14 and over, and would be a great session for poets seeking to understand poetry critique as a way to further develop their writing.

This masterclass is part of the Nottingham Poetry Festival, taking place in the city from 26thApril to 5thMay 2019.
