In this close reading and writing session, taking Anne Boyer's text 'Questions For Poets' as a starting point, we will be looking at ‘mode of address’: how a text speaks to its reader. We will also consider how texts can be in conversation with other texts.

We will explore practical ways to facilitate the writing process using prompts and freewriting, with special emphasis on the question as a form for generating written material. We will also think about questions around our own work.
