This is a fantastic opportunity to discuss your work one-to-one with Robert Peake, a poet with an international perspective. Robert takes a friendly and sincere approach not only to the poems at hand, but to the development of a poet’s unique themes and approaches, and to strategies for sustaining a rewarding writing practice over time.

Robert Peake is a British-American poet born in California, now living in Hertfordshire. His collections include Human Shade (Lost Horse Press, USA, 2011), The Silence Teacher (Poetry Salzburg, Austria, 2013) and The Knowledge (Nine Arches Press, UK, 2015). Cyclone (Nine Arches Press) is out in July 2018. www.robertpeake.com
