Poetry Classes
A former lecturer in English & Creative Writing, (her ‘Women and Mother Ireland’ was published in Image & Power, Longman, 1995), Anne-Marie gives seminars for poets and readers of poetry (lasting from one-hour to all-day to six-week courses) on significant poets’ poets, with in-depth analysis of the work, together with context, lives, letters and early literary leanings. Frequently requested “subjects” include Emily Dickinson, Thomas Hardy, Anne Sexton, Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, Elizabeth Bishop, Seamus Heaney, Jane Kenyon, Eavan Boland…
