Errol was also VERY inspired by the poem "Remember", and he wrote his own beautiful version, and asked me to film him singing it. He also wanted to edit the video and he made it "perfect"!

A free creative writing workshop for teens in which we think about circular narrative structures, write circle poems and villanelles, read poems by John Keats and Dylan Thomas, and break story planning down into easy steps. youtu.be/c9KX-Dt4-z0

I'm having a trial of a new schedule where I'll be releasing one video a week, alternating between teen workshops and workshops for younger children. Today teen workshop five will be up, and we'll be working on circular story structures!

I made a video for BBC Teach with simple step by step instructions for children to write a poem inspired by The Little Train of the Caipira; an absolutely awesome piece of music written by Heitor Villa Lobos. Listen to the piece & write your poem here: bbc.co.uk/teach/ten-piec…

This Friday is Beltane. Last year a few very intrepid walkers hiked to the top of the hill to watch the sunrise. Sadly we aren't able to run such an event this year, but if anyone does make it up the hill for sunrise and to wash their faces in the dew, please let us know!

I run creative writing workshops for young people at the Scottish Poetry Library @ByLeavesWeLive during normal term time. I'm making my workshops available for free online due to the #lockdown. Here is the first teen workshop video in the series: youtu.be/i-fM6uujwLw
