On Monday 13 January 2025, students studying English at A level participated in a 90-minute workshop entitled ‘The Magic of Poetic Metre’ conducted by renowned American poet, Annie Finch.
The students engaged in a number of activities that explored the nature of poetry and rhythm and understood how rhythm creates a tone for the poem, and it can generate emotions or enhance ideas. The students also had the opportunity of trying their hand at working out the metre of selected poems by way of understanding the full effect of rhythm on a poem.
The workshop was coordinated by Dr Abigail Ardelle Zammit, Department of English.
