Words of inspiration

I am teaching creative writing to EFL students and finding inspiration in the work produced and this work has prompted me to take a look at my other sources of inspiration.

I opted for a Creative Writing module as part of my BA degree at the London College of Communication.  A great choice as I was taught and truly inspired by Catherine Johnson and Ronnie McGrath.

I love the poetry and performance of established poets Aoife Mannix and former colleague Meryl Pugh. 

If you fancy hearing, experiencing or performing live poetry and the spoken word, I recommend Excess Express events, The Poetry Cafe and the Southbank Centre in London.
