Search Engine: Poems from Tower Poetry 2006
In this new pamphlet from Tower Poetry, the featured young writers take a strong and confident approach to poetry, and their work demonstrates a wide range of imaginative, fresh, and sometimes startling approaches to the subject. The poems include the winning entries in the 2006 Christopher Tower poetry competition, as well as a selection of work written by students at the 2006 Tower Poetry summer school which was tutored by Jane Draycott and John Redmond.
Amulet: Poems from the Tower Poetry Summer School 2005
In the summer of 2005, Gillian Clarke and Polly Clark spent time at Christ Church, Oxford, with a group of young writers who were given the opportunity to write and talk about their poems in the context of workshops, tutorials, and more informal discussions. The tutors talked about their own ways of approaching poetry, and were also joined in readings by poets Esther Morgan and Jamie McKendrick. Amulet is the result of this year’s stimulating and successful Tower Poetry Summer School.
