The course I’d bet good. Carol Am Duffy is inspiring, what she says is interesting and the poems she uses as examples are a great source for further reading and thinking. However the Maestro app is very clunky and not at all intuitive. It can take far too to track down the course I’m doing and I keep getting messages to tell me to sign up - even though I’ve already paid. The poor quality of the app spoils the experience of following a course on Maestro. Other apps (eg all the ones on TV, BBC sounds, Apple Podcasts are much much better. Come on Maestro invest some money and time in the functionality of your app.

Really enjoying this course. Lots of useful ideas and prompts and it has made me start writing again. I really like having the course notes to refer to as well - an extra feature I didn't realise was there. Looking forward to completing the course.

I really liked the way this course built on each lesson - I think I will be reflecting on what I have learned for a long time and putting it into practice.

Thanks to this course. I have begun writing poetry after years of not writing at all. I have written 13 poems since starting this course. All the information and advice was very useful. I enjoyed Carol Anne Duffy. I am inspired by her. This course is well worth it. Thank you.
