Young people love choosing, learning and performing poems!

@Alexhughes3S @ReeceAndrea We agree Alex! Watch this space for a video of the incredible performance...

@ReeceAndrea @poetrybyheart It was truly beautiful!

Sat listening to the rain and it’s taking me right back to the @poetrybyheart finale where a brilliant student played ‘petrichor’ on a steel drum whilst reciting a poem about the sound of the falling rain! It was pure magic! Mesmerising! People! What was the poem?!

"Have a go and enjoy some serious fun." Great piece by our #PoetryByHeart Co-Director Julie Blake for @Booktrust on the confidence, understanding & pleasure that comes from learning a poem by ♥️: bit.ly/4lNm7XG
