A poetry interlude

July 3, 2014 by trialbyjeory

By Sadia Ahmed, 13, of Swanlea School in Whitechapel (and formerly of that other great incubator of current talent, Hermitage Primary School in Wapping)

This is the blurb on YouTube:

SLAMbassadors UK is the Poetry Society’s national youth slam championships, and the longest running youth slam in the country. Students work with top spoken word artists to create their own pieces around the theme of ‘identity’.

Swanlea School in Tower Hamlets worked with poet Joelle Taylor as part of the Tower Hamlets programme, supported by the Tower Hamlets Schools Library Services.

The national finals will be held on October 31 in the Clore Ballroom of the Royal Festival Hall, and feature Kate Tempest. http://slam.poetrysociety.org.uk

 

[Normal service resumes tomorrow with the results of the Blackwall & Cubitt Town by-elections.]

    Why does a “liberated” child like this have to wear a hijab?

      Same reason why liberated women can choose to wear boob tubes, mini skirts and high heels. Major difference being the Hijab protects the individual.
