Tower Poetry Summer School
Twelve young poets were given the opportunity to develop their writing and critical skills through the annual Tower Poetry Summer School at Christ Church between the 26th and 29th of August. The residential course included exciting and challenging workshops run by experienced tutors and readings by guest poets as well as visits to places of literary interest in Oxford.

The tutors, Jane Draycott and Frances Leviston, plus Peter McDonald, Director of Tower Poetry, were amongst those who thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
