Masterclass Recording: The Art of the Modern Ode

Revelling in the minutiae
Tutor
  • Vicky Morris
Date Friday July 28th 2023, 11:00-13:00 BST
Location Online

Join prize-winning poet Vicky Morris for a poetry writing workshop that explores the delights and wit of the modern ode and other contemporary poetry approaches that celebrate and revere the everyday, the unexpected and the downright bizarre. From the humble cockroach to stretch marks, the odes we’ll draw inspiration from in this masterclass will be fresh, modern, sometimes funny, and always surprising. Across a range of writing exercises, we’ll look at key elements of the ode, bringing in some Anglo-Saxon wordplay fun, while considering how uncovering the ceremonious in the routine, the reverence in life’s offerings often overlooked, can take us somewhere deeper. Leave the session with some intriguing first drafts, an urge to praise the minutiae of life, and an awe for the art of the modern ode.

"Arvon at Home creates a model to participate in inspirational tutoring for writers, at a distance. The feeling of attending to my writing life in an excellent fashion, and still having a half-day for my work and caring responsibilities at home, felt like a good balance."

"It was an absolutely brilliant session and very very useful. And it made me realise how much I’ve missed this kind of workshop because of having children and family that I can’t leave. Now we’re all in the same boat the online stuff is truly transformative."
