Previous winners of the Christopher Tower poetry competitions between 2006 and 2008 as well as other young writers, worked with Jane Draycott and Frances Leviston during the course of the annual Tower Poetry Summer School held in August 2008 to produce twenty-nine poems. These show a remarkable range of voice and fluency and have been published in a booklet of fifty-six pages. The tutors talked about their own ways of approaching poetry, and were also joined in readings by Professor David Morley, National Teaching Fellow and Director: The Warwick Writing Programme. Seasick Blue is the result of another successful Tower Poetry Summer School – the fifth year of its existence.
