Toolkits: Poetry 2025
Ends on
What is poetry? How do I write it? How do I get published?
Express Media, in partnership with Australian Poetry, is pleased to announce the 2025 return of Toolkits: Poetry – an online course in the forms, functions, histories and uses of poetry, combining theoretical approaches, practical exercises and group workshops to guide young writers through the development of new work.
Toolkits is first and foremost a practical initiative. During this 12-week program, participants will be encouraged to write, workshop and edit their writing throughout the course. They will hone their skills in textual analysis, create their own original work, explore the possibilities of collaborative work, and learn how to pitch work to publishers when they’re done.
If you are a writer or artist aged 30 and under interested in writing poetry, we want to hear from you!
