We are a collective of poets with national and international reputations, all based near the east coast of Scotland. We believe deeply in the importance of our artform to the culture, and we seek to foster the ideals of excellence as practitioners, curiosity as readers, and generosity as teachers. We also believe in the equal importance of spiritual, literary, practical and technical approaches to the making of a poem.

    What the hell is a symbol anyway? Everyone uses the word, but it’s rare two poets mean the same thing by it. In this class, we’ll look at when an image merely stands for itself, and when it acts as a totem for a far more subtle – and otherwise inexpressible – meanings and emotions.
