Workshop feedback

  • 'I cannot praise Kate Potts’ poetry writing courses highly enough. So far I’ve attended three. She is a skilled, generous and sensitive tutor who can guide the dynamics of a writing group to produce work that astounds! She presents well-researched material you want to get your teeth into, stimulating prompts/homework, and excellent feedback and editing suggestions. Brilliant! Thank you Kate.'

    Caroline Shaw, poet

  • 'Kate is intelligent and perceptive, and her sessions are well-researched and stimulating. Taking Kate’s Wise Women poetry course has really pushed my writing and helped me to progress and explore new avenues. I’ve really enjoyed our sessions!'

    Rose Lennard, poet

  • 'It's been a joy working together. I've learned a lot, read the work of writers I hadn't previously heard of, and I’ve really enjoyed reading all of our different prompt and workshop poems too. There's a chapter in the Poetry Handbook by Mary Oliver that speaks about the experience of writing workshops. It's been lovely experiencing one myself!'

    Wieke Vink, poet

  • 'Kate’s Wise Women workshops have been both informative and inspiring, acting as a great introduction to a range of contemporary women poets from both the UK and North America. She is an excellent tutor, generous with her knowledge of poetry and always ready to provide positive encouragement and astute feedback.'

    Luct Cotterill, poet
