2. We’ll go on to look at published examples of the Villanelle – a traditionalverse firm using repetition of lines, still used to great effect by modern poets. Thenyou will write avillanelle!
3.There will also be time for feedback and advice on any draft poems youalready have 'in the oven'. Bring one along!
