The Oxford School of Poetry was initiated in 2018 to address how a philosophy of poetic being and presence might be taught online. Based on the traditional Oxbridge one-on-one model, the OSP offers intensive courses to immerse, radicalise and refresh poetic instincts that are indigenous to us all. The OSP ethos is based on the 'democratic intellect', focussing on inspiring, integrated and holistic teaching. As such, you will find an emphasis on locating the poetic, as much as on writing poetry. Our tutors are unique in their experience and presence but so too is each student, which is why all of our courses are designed to bring out the resourceful, the imaginative and the inventive within each individual. Online teaching is rigorous & you will be given a reading list to enhance each course. In 2019 we published the first OSP Review to showcase student work which will soon be available in print from Blackwell's, Oxford.
