News

Visit here for photos, videos and news from Poetry School classes and tutors.

Also - Our poetry news - we'll be featuring interviews with current students and teachers and articles on what's currently happening in the poetry world: what's about to be released, where the festivals are and other interesting poetry news that we find.

Featured Tutor: Malika Booker

Malika Booker is a British writer and multidisciplinary artist of Guyanese and Grenadian Parentage. Her poems have been widely published in anthologies and journals including Wasafiri, The Penguin Anthology of New Black Writing, and Ten New Poets (Bloodaxe, 2010). Her CV is a flurrey of writerly activity, and we're lucky enough to have her teaching for us in the Spring Term on a course 'Mapping Poetries', the idea for which actually came out of a Poetry School workshop that Malika took as a student. Here, she talks to us about 'Malika's Kitchen', geographical hybrids and her next collection.

 

School's In!

School's officially in! The summer's been busy with bookings and now that we're about to embark on a new year of learning, we thought we'd show those of you who've signed up (and those of you who haven't!) what to expect after the initial sign up is done.

Are we all present and correct?

Fabulous bowlcuts not compulsory, but they are encouraged.
