POEMS by pupils and students

These pages are for poems by pupils and students. Some were written during or after workshops with HATMAN Richard Burns.

The collection begins with One thousand leaves. These are haiku by boys and girls at St. Peter's School, Peterborough, in English and Japanese. These poems were translated by Ban'ya Natsuishi, and published in Ginyu, a Tokyo literary magazine. A haiga based on one of these poems, by Amy Woods, aged 12, is posted from the Ginyu website. This is designed by the artist Kiniharu Shimizu. (A haiga is a drawing or painting based on a haiku. It includes the poem itself.) Then there are online poems from three workshops set up by Harriet Truscott at the Cambridge Science Festival in Spring 2005.

Next, there are five poems about hands by boys and girls from St. Bede's School in Cambridge, from a workshop in October 2006.

This small selection will be built up gradually.
