Didactic poems are ones that instruct, offer moral guidance, or teach a skill. It’s a poem filled with purpose and moves beyond entertainment. While all poems are likely nestled with a life lesson, these poems are made with that intention. In this workshop, through reading, discussion, and exercises, we’ll explore how to write didactic poems that are more interesting and layered. Get ready to write!

Your tutor for the session, Theresa Lola, is a British Nigerian poet and artist. She is the author of two poetry collections. Her second poetry collection 'Ceremony for the Nameless' was praised in the Guardian as a book that “assures her place as a trailblazer for a new wave of poets”.
