Overview
Discover the power of poetry, and learn to write your own. The How To Make A Poem course is offered at Manchester Metropolitan University by FutureLearn.
This course explores what inspires poetry, how we write poems and how to tell when your poem is finished.
Whether you’ve never written a poem before, or you‘ve been secretly writing away for some years, this course provides a positive environment in which to begin writing and to share your work with others.

By the end of the course, you‘ll be able to...
- Experiment with different techniques and new exercises to help generate new work
- Develop your own ‘voice’ in your poems
- Discuss how to read poetry for new ideas
- Investigate what poets from the past and present say about how we write poetry
