Overview

The writer Nikos Kazantzakis widely considered a giant of Greek modern literature said, ""True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own."" At Ernest Bevin, it is the goal of the English Department to create a love of learning English language and literature and celebrating this love of learning to master the art of poetry and creative writing. From the moment students enter Ernest Bevin Academy, our English teachers set to work at dispelling and dismantling all the damaging preconceptions that tragically so many students pick up when they first look at a daunting poem. Our students spend a half term studying poetry every year, and what is more...they courageously try their hands at forming what at first seems so difficult. Here is a collection of that toil and endeavour. It is something that will be held for them for the rest of their lives...we hope it might enrich yours. This book is the third anthology of poems written by students at Ernest Bevin Academy. We are proud of our students and the hard work that they do and to celebrate their success we share their poems with you. This book is a compilation of the winners from the whole school creative writing Phoenix Competition and a combination of the works of students from the weekly running Poetry Club and creative writing workshops run by the English Department. It is through their poetry that they share their voice and from their voice that they are empowered to make a stand and speak out for all that they believe in. They have considered the many challenges that we can face and like our college motto and logo, no matter what happens, we will rise like the phoenix. We hope that you will enjoy reading these poems too as much as the staff and wider community of family and friends of Ernest Bevin Academy do. A huge well done and many congratulations to the students at Ernest Bevin Academy.
