| The Tower Poetry Summer School 2008 |
|
26-29 August 2008 Ten young poets were given the opportunity to develop their writing and critical skills through the annual Tower Poetry Summer School at Christ Church between 26-29 August 2008. The residential course included exciting and challenging workshops run by Jane Draycott and Frances Leviston and an entertaining reading/discussion by David Morley. The tutors, plus Peter McDonald, Director of Tower Poetry, were amongst those who thoroughly enjoyed the evening. For further details of the evening see David's blog on http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/morleyd/ or the Tower Poetry group on Facebook. Seasick Blue, the anthology of students' poems, edited by Jane Draycott and Frances Leviston, is available to order.

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.
