Tower Poetry Summer SchoolTower Poetry's annual summer school, for young poets aged 18–23, will be held in Christ Church, 26–29 August. The residential school gives twelve young people the opportunity to develop their own writing and critical skills through a series of exciting and challenging workshops, run this year by Jane Draycott, a UK-based poet with a particular interest in sound art and collaborative and digital work, and Frances Leviston, whose first volume of poems was short-listed for this year's T.S. Eliot Prize. Professor David Morley, Professor of Creative Writing, National Teaching Fellow and Director of the Warwick Writing Programme and the newly announced Warwick Prize for Writing will give readings from his work. The course offers its students a unique and challenging opportunity to work with other writers. At the end of the summer school, the students' work will be collected and edited for publication in a pamphlet. This year's summer school is now fully subscribed.
