The Art of Poetry Course was a six-week course from 24th March to 12th May, every Monday from 1.00 pm to 3.00 pm in the Recovery College Room, DCU School of Nursing. Adele and Paula co-facilitated this course. The purpose of the course was to create art under the guidance of Paula, using different techniques and ideas each week. Then, with the guidance of Adele, the group would examine various poets and discuss their styles, followed by free writing.

The group was fantastic and had great fun on the course. The skills and talents stoked during the course were staggering. Participants left the course each day energised and smiling. It was the highlight of the week for some participants. The group would meet in the Recovery College room and have a cuppa, which set them up for the course. There was a lot of fun, enjoyment, laughter, and a great sense of community amongst the group. As the facilitators, being a part of the Art of Poetry group, they saw for themselves the positive impact it had on the participants. The course allowed the participants to explore their creativity and artistic skills whilst being a part of a lovely group of people. The facilitators feel it would be a privilege to be part of this course if it ran again. We hope all the participants enjoyed the course as much as we did!
