"I see it being used in numerous ways, and frequently embedded across the curriculum. Children love poetry as it allows them to be creative with language and to explore issues that are relevant to them. In my experience, they also love the humour, the wordplay, and the interaction of performance poetry with a real, live poet. After I've gone, schools will often continue to develop the skills that pupils explore during my sessions. They'll send their edited poems to me to put on my blog, which gives them a real sense of achievement."
