This is one of the best courses on writing poetry I have ever participated in. I wish she would offer more courses; I would take them all.

I enjoyed the way Duffy broke the course into units so I can refer to the excellent notes again with ease. I thought the setting somewhat conservative and would have liked something contemporary. I've already bought some of the recommended reading as I live remotely and library resources are lacking. It was a great course :)

She delivers her message in a measured helpful non-pushy way. I like her gentle approach and she strikes me as a woman from whom helpful criticism would flow smoothly.

A very considered online course. The length of each section makes it easy to dip into wherever you have a spare moment. Carol Ann Duffy is an enthusiastic communicator.

I'm less than half-way through but really enjoying Carol Ann Duffy's course. A brilliant poet who I was once on a course with, I love the way she uses her life, learning and experience to inform the course. Her poems she chooses to read and illustrate are stunningly beautiful, funny and brave.

I have received insights on where to find inspiration and creative thoughts, but I have not learnt how to actually write a poem, which is contradictory with the title of this course. This course was more about sparking creative thinking and finding inspiration in life.

This is a wonderful course and has inspired me to write my own poetry. I only have one negative comment: it would be nice to hear more from other poets' work and not always from Duff's..
