The Poetry Trust’s fifth Advanced Seminar took place in March 2011 and since 2007 it has provided a unique opportunity for a small group of talented UK poets of any age - either at first collection or between first and second collection stage - to take part in an intensive five-day course, led by two outstanding poet-tutors with strong editorial experience.

There will not be an Advanced Seminar in March 2012. We hope to offer the next Advanced Seminar in 2013, but this will depend on successful fundraising in 2012. For enquiries, please email us.

The seminar gave us all a great opportunity to articulate stored anxieties, concern, relections and wisdom and to think productively about the ways forward. It was fantastic to spend time with people who care as much about poetry as I do.
