The Poetry Postie delivers poetic inspiration to the Nation and is now able to fly airmail thanks to the new, international Poetry Plane project.
I have been delighted to work in partnership with Artconnexion UK CIC and our French cultural partners which has seen cargoes of poems-written on seeded paper-being fluttered from the sky. Where the poems land, they grow into flowers…

Taking literacy sky high

The project offers workshops which are fun, engaging and memorable, helping schools fulfil their statutory requirements for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. And because they are led by experts, they not only help raise levels of literacy but also raise aspirations, leading to a lasting sense of pride and achievement. 

When I grow up I want to be …you. Do what you do. All this.

The project is now being offered to wider community groups and participants of all ages and abilities, including those with special needs or physical disabilities. 
Workshop activities include edible poetry, interactive song writing, flying poems and dancing words and allow those taking part to feel their spirits soar!`

I’ve never felt this free! Participant`
