| The Tower Poetry Summer School 2010 |
|
The 7th Tower Poetry Summer School for young poets aged 18-23 was held in Christ Church, Oxford from 24-27 August when 12 students from different parts of the UK had a rainy but inspiring few days, tutored by Daljit Nagra and Jo Shapcott. The 2010 anthology, The Twelve, is now available. Apart from the workshops, the programme included the launch of the 2009 Summer School anthology, Panado, and an evening's poetry reading at the Woodstock Arms, organised by the Woodstock Bookshop.

About Tower Poetry
Tower Poetry exists to encourage and challenge everyone who reads or writes poetry. Funded by a generous bequest to Christ Church, Oxford, by the late Christopher Tower, the aims of Tower Poetry are clear: to stimulate an enjoyment and critical appreciation of poetry, particularly among young people in education, and to challenge people to write their own poetry. Creative writing should be a central element in literary education, and learning about writing poetry can help students to think about ways of reading poetry.
