Poetry is a beautiful art form. Unfortunately, despite being poignant and deeply personal, we sometimes still imagine something akin to “An ode to a small lump of green putty I found under my armpit one midsummer’s morning”. But the good news is that poetry is still alive and vibrant today! You might even be able to write something beautiful, and here’s how to start and improve.
Read Poetry
No, you don’t have to spend hours pouring over Blake, Keats or Shelly to be a poet. Instead, read what interests you. If you’re keen to learn about confessional poetry, how about Sylvia Plath? Or perhaps you might enjoy the dark introspection of Philip Larkin. Reading others’ work will provide you with inspiration and ideas for use in your writing. As an artist, you should never be afraid to borrow insight from what came before you (as long as you’re not just copying their work, of course). Don’t be scared to stand on the shoulders of giants and see further than the past’s great poets.
Write Poetry
This one may sound obvious, but it is worth putting down on paper. To get better at writing poetry, you will need to write poetry. Your first one may be terrible, and the next slightly less so. But, eventually, you will be making work that you are proud to show off. It’s the same with any skill, practice, practice, practice!
Share your work with others
Go to an open mic night, find other poets and share your writing with them. Make use of internet communities and poetry forums to talk about your craft. Even if you’re relatively inexperienced, you’ll find that artists are always keen to learn from one another and make the best art that they can. Because of the expertise and freshness in these communities, they are also a great place to get recommendations for new poetry to expand your reading.
Experiment
Perhaps you’ve seen someone experimenting with different fonts?
Or setting
Their work
Out in
a strange way
on the page?
But take some risks and see how they speak to you and your audience. With modern printing/ word processing, the possibilities of what you can achieve are endless. So let your imagination run wild!
Take the plunge!
Taking a course in poetry will force you to leave your comfort zone and grow as a writer and an artist. By immersing yourself in literature and a learning community, you’ll be able to make some breakthroughs and make connections that will help you become improve. Our Poetry Course is a perfect way to do this because it is very flexible and completely online, meaning that it can be done at a pace and time that suits you. We also provide you with a personal tutor to help you get the most from your learning experience.
Here at ADL, we pride ourselves on supporting life-long learning in all of its forms. Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED) educational talks are a brilliant supplement to whatever you are currently learning because they can help us take apart some of the issues that we all face as learners and more generally in life. So, without further a due here are three talks that I found very helpful to my learning and improvement recently.
This stunning and inspirational Ted talk doesn’t seem to have much in common with your learning goals at first appearance. However, working out where your strengths lie and what you want to be doing will improve your motivation and work ethic dramatically.
Caroline is a fantastic speaker and can get to the heart of some of the biggest problems that we face recognising ourself and the different parts of us that make us who we are. A must watch!
Laura’s refreshing take on time management is a welcome break from many of the other articles that I have read on the subject. She accommodates for the genuine problems that we face and gives us a kick in the right direction. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has ambitions or goals that they are currently not pursuing as much as they would like.
We’ve all been here before, haven’t we? Just trying to sit down and work on our project or even our job and we’ve been unable actually to get into gear and make something happen. Chris Bailey does a great job of unpacking why you might be facing some of these problems, and you’ll be glad to hear that the fundamental answer is less is more. I’ll leave the rest for the video to speak for itself, but I’d especially recommend it to anyone who spends a considerable amount of time on social media.
There’s a TED talk for most topics and ideas, so the world is your oyster when it comes to looking for well written educational discussions. Do you have any thoughts or favourites? Let us know in the comments!
