| The Tower Poetry Summer School 2007 |
|
7-10 August 2007 Once again, the Tower Poetry Summer School produced some exciting new writing and enthusiastic debate under the direction of this year's tutors, Fiona Sampson and John Redmond. The 14 students, aged between 18-23 years, also heard poetry readings by Fiona, John and Tower Poetry's Peter McDonald. Their stay at Christ Church also included an unexpected and much appreciated opportunity to hear Rowan Williams read his work. The students' poems, written and revised during the summer school, have been published in Jitterwhirring which is available to order now.

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.
