English Department Poetry Anthology.


I was inspired by the English Department's excellent recent assembly introducing an opportunity for you to enter your poetry for this year's anthology. The theme is ''Space and Place''. Sounds like geography to me. So how about looking at some of the links below for some inspiration?

An excellent starting point is Geography Poetry Corner.

Or search the Children's Poetry Archive for some inspiration. I love this site.

A fellow geography teacher who I used to work with, Noel Jenkins took students from Hampstead School in London and ventured north to Wales and Liverpool for A level fieldwork. While in Liverpool, they were inspired to write some poems!

There is a poetry list from people from all over the world many translated from their original language.
