45 of our students’ poems will be published in the Young Writers’ poetry anthology called The Beautiful Truth. Students across all the year groups entered. Congratulations to all students who took part.

I would like to share Imogen Bundy’s poem below, born out of discussion about women’s rights in form time:

The Beautiful Truth

Hidden from sight, Imprisoned inside, The source of all sin, Let them sing.

Killed for their laugh, Killed for their cry, Killed by their husband, father, uncle Why ? Impunity the Taliban bring, Let them sing.

Going back in time, Before learning was a crime, When they sat as judges, And the professional ladder they could climb.

Now all that was hers has become his, Nine year old girls with a wedding ring, Her body, her brain, her smile, her skin, With no say in anything.

Let them sing. Let Afghan women sing.

Imtiaz Dharker Poetry Reading

On Friday 8th November, 55 A Level English students had the privilege to attend a poetry reading by renowned poet Imtiaz Dharker.

The poetry reading was a deeply engaging experience that captivated everyone in the audience. Her words, already powerful on the page, took on new layers of meaning as she read them aloud, her voice adding texture and depth. By the end of the reading, it was clear that Dharker’s poetry doesn’t just speak to the listener, it also offers a lasting sense of connection and inspiration. Mrs Teal, Head of Key Stage 5 English at Presdales School

Imtiaz Dharker’s visit was incredibly powerful and the way she explained and delivered her poems gave a strong insight into the world of writing and poetry. The range in her poetry, from being about her troubles growing up to sonnets, portrayed how much of a great poet she is, and the different ways in which you can deliver your feelings, even if the inspiration was originally something completely different. Dharker answering our questions was also very useful for aspiring writers/poets. Overall, the entire atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and warm, and Dharker’s visit to Ware allowed for many young writers to have a deeper insight into poetry and literature. Kamila Soltysik, Year 13

On Friday we went on a trip to Ware to watch the renowned poet Imtiaz Dharker. She spoke about why she writes her poems and what inspires her. It was a different experience to hear such poems being read aloud as it allowed us as listeners to grasp a deeper meaning behind the different pauses and phrases she’s chosen to use. It was also eye-opening to  realise that she’s influenced by little things in life, showing me that everything in life has significance, whether we acknowledge it or not. Neive Reid, Year 12

Imtiaz Dharker visit was very insightful and interesting to know her thought process and structure into how she plans a poem, but when she does plan, her poem most of the time does not mirror her plan. When she was reading out the poems, particularly “Tissue”, it was very insightful to know that poets generally are not told or asked from Exam boards if their poems can be used or not. However Dharker implied that she could not understand why “tissue” is used for GCSE as the complexity of the poem and the difficulty to interpret the poem are challenging at best. Jess Pullum, Year 13

Imtiaz Dharker,a  Respected contemporary poet, visited Ware poetry society this week where we had the pleasure of attending one of her readings. Dhkaer guided us through a series of poems, some recent from her new book and some old that she felt were still relevant for her or for society today. She introduced us to the procedures of her writing process, inspirations and how to go about publishing our own poetry. While we don’t study Dhkear as part of our A level, her wise words induced me to appreciate poetry as an art form and therefore I found the experience wholly valuable. Rachel Harvey, Year 13

On our trip to hear from poet Imtiaz Dharker I really enjoyed how passionate she was about both her poetry and the poetry that inspires her. I particularly appreciated how she wrote one of her poems as a response to the poetry of Wilfred Owen (a first world war poet), especially with my own family history involvement in the military and the closeness to remembrance day. Dharker’s poems are filled with emotions, history and larger themes that expand her poems’ audience and grasp of the world. She is a firm believer in the power of poetry and her attitude towards reading her poetry reflects this, she is passionate and expressive, easy to understand and encouraging to all those who read and study her poems. Hannah Green, Year 13

On Friday, we went to see the poet Imtiaz Dharker do a poetry reading which was captivating and interesting.  She spoke confidently with a deliberate tone throughout the poems that brought new meaning to them and made them much more interesting rather than just reading them.  I particularly enjoyed her opening poem “From another country” which captivated me with its themes of her heritage and the microaggressions of racism she experiences.  Many of her poems follow these themes of her heritage and conflict in these circumstances but also the range of joy and love.  Overall, I found it to be a very interesting and inspiring experience. Madison Scully, Year 13

The English trip was very wholesome, the poetry was fulfilling and taught you a lesson  of prosperity and kindness but also the hardships people face throughout their life.  Imtiaz Dharker spoke with a soothing voice, with growing passion for her poems throughout the time she was on stage. These poems were thought through and conveyed a narrative of understanding. The poems she talked about ranged from politics to romance and to conflict, Sharing many different perspectives along the way. Eva Pidduck, Year 12

I really enjoyed the poetry trip to see Imtiaz Dharker. We got to listen to some of her poems, and learn some of the backstory behind them. Her poems are very well written and it was nice to hear how she read the poems in her own style. I really enjoyed the poems from her most recent book, although they were dark they were very powerful. I liked her poem titled ‘a century later’, where it has a metaphor of war related to school. Sophie Hayes, Year 12

Going on the poetry trip, I did not expect to be so amazed by Intiaz Dharker, a passionate, intelligent, and inspiring poet. Everyone I spoke with complimented her poetry skills and delivery, and we were all captivated by her powerful words. Some of my favourite poems she read included Tissue, which was complicated but meaningful, and From Another Country, which was political and powerful. Overall, this was a very educational and influential English trip that will continue encouraging all English students to excel in poetry. Amelia Johnson-Hart, Year 12

Imtiaz Dharker is a very inspirational, interesting poet with a very thoughtful ideas and representations of everyday things we see in experience in life. She views the world deeply and takes note of the minor details of life which are actually quite beautiful. We went on a trip to Ware to listen to Imtiaz Dharker read some of her exquisite poems and the reasons to why she wrote them. She also talked about personal experiences in which inspired her to write some of her poems. He performance was purposeful and the room was silent in awe of her presentation. We heard the poems how she wrote them and wanted them to be seen and heard rather than our interpretations. At the end she answered some simple but challenging questions which she carefully listened too and answered in great detail to fulfil our expectations of a good answer. The trip was very hopeful for students looking to be a poet or a writer in the future but also opened everyone’s minds to be creative and look at life in a way that everything has a meaning and a purpose. Bethany Botheras, Year 12

On Friday the 8th November, Year 12 and 13 English students had the incredible opportunity  to hear Imtiaz Dharker share a selection of her poetry, as well as her personal stories and inspirations, and other poets’ work that she admires. As she read her poems, she demonstrated the strong passion and dedication she has for her craft, and captivated the audience with her powerful voice and words. To those of us studying poetry at A Level, it was an extremely invaluable experience for our understanding of how poems can be written and expressed to audiences, and we are thankful to the English department for organising this trip. Hattie Pryke, Year 12

From the visit from Imtiaz Dharker we learnt as writers that to produce quality meaningful pieces of writing the work often reflects a deep understanding of personal human experience, capturing moments and truths with precision. However this writing also challenges conventions, pushing the boundaries of expression and inspiring others to see the world through a different lens. Her work is not just technical but also evokes deep emotions. The visit focused on poems and her process of how to write them and what leads her to choose specific topics. Dee Cole, Year 12

Attending Imtiaz Dharker’s poetry talk was an inspiring experience. She shared her journey, inspirations and life experiences which helped her write her poems, and therefore gave me a new appreciation for poetry. She exposed us to the power of words and showed us how poetry can express emotions, bring attention to important matters, and connect and reconnect people. Imtiaz also read some of her works, showing the deeper meanings and emotion imbedded in each poem with the way she read. Overall, the trip was both educational and interesting. India Brooker, Year 12

I found the Imtiaz Dharker trip into Ware was very interesting and helpful, considering we had the opportunity to hear exactly how Imtiaz Dharker imagined her poems being read and all the different interpretations that she believed would be taken from the poem. We also saw a true insight into how she developed her poems, and through a series of questions, how the poems ended up being published after her hard work exploring them. Overall, I believed this trip was very helpful and intriguing for us, English a level students. Tabitha Hawkins, Year 12

Friday’s trip to Ware to listen and enjoy Imtiaz Dharker read a selection of her poems was insightful and heartwarming. She has a beautiful voice and way of thinking that was portrayed in her poems, I very much enjoyed listening to her thoughts and beliefs. However, I most enjoyed listening to her sonnet, written about her late husband, she expressed her feelings and love in a very wonderful way. After Imtiaz’s reading, we were given the chance to ask questions about her writing process and personal opinions on other poets which I also very much enjoyed and felt grateful for the opportunity. Purdie Leslie, Year 12

On Friday 8th of November, English students from Year 12 & 13 took a trip to Ware to listen to poet Imtiaz Dharker. Dharker is a renowned poet, having received the Queen’s Gold Medal for English Poetry and consideration for the role of Poet Laureate – so we were lucky to have this opportunity to hear from her in person. She began with readings of her many poems, providing us with insights into her thoughts behind each one, and then the afternoon ended with a Q&A session where we were able to ask our own questions about her poetry. Hopefully this experience will help add depth to our learning and provide us with additional information for the poetry we study in class. Martha Ker, Year 12

I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to see  Imtiaz Dharker, it was interesting listening to her talk openly about her process of writing these poems and how she draws inspiration from current and historical events, she is able to cleverly share important messages through her poetry and is able to inspire many. Furthermore, it was extremely entertaining listening to her read her poems as it gave a new perspective that you can’t get from simply reading them, it was amazing to see how passionate she is about her work and poetry. Florence Hudson, Year 12

‘Poems of the Decade’ A Level Student Conference

On Tuesday 12th December, Sixth form A Level English Literature students attended the ‘Poems of the Decade’ A Level Student Conference in London. Inspiring poets such as Simon Armitage (Poet Laureate), Daljit Nagra & Ros Barber explored the way poets create and consider poetry. An interesting range of topics and speakers broadened the students’ understanding of poetry. The students enjoyed the opportunity to explore poetry beyond the classroom and meet iconic writers in person.

The poetry conference allowed English literature students to understand first-hand the meaning behind some of the poems we study. I particularly enjoyed listening to Ros Barber, the poet of ‘Material’. Her introduction was moving, in which she gave us a brief insight into her relationship with her mother and her tragic passing. As Barber read the poem, which was dedicated to her mother, it gave me a different understanding of what ‘Material’ is about. I appreciated her theatrical movements and her excitable intonation as she read the poem, since it made me focus on parts that I never did before. Her reflection on ‘Material’ and the motivations of writing it were insightful, and gave me greater confidence to write about it in exams. I liked how she discussed grief and loss, although before this conference, I never realised that she was using humour to avoid this grief, and so I am grateful that Barber shared that with us.

By Adesola, Year 13

Meeting Simon Armitage was really inspiring. He’s a famous poet, and being around him is like catching onto a creative vibe. His way with words is like a lively heartbeat. Armitage loves what he does, and that passion is catchy. Being with him makes you want to express yourself creatively. It’s like a push to rethink your own story and artistic abilities. The meeting connects regular stuff to something extraordinary, making you see the beauty in simple words and endless creative options. Having met the poets themselves is truly remarkable and awe-inspiring, it has evoked my emotions for the love of poetry outside of the English classroom and encouraged me to think in a complete different style.

By Tara, Year 12

Despite arriving late, Simon Armitage spoke with an air of class and eloquence that someone on time does not have. Armitage was casually smart and precise in his words yet brought a bashful humour along with him. Within his analysis he entertained the audience with dry humour yet always brought conversation back to his analysis. He offered up his own personal context to his work, revealing the intimacies he had with his own chainsaw and the wreckage that came with it. He is the persona in his own poem. His poem ‘Chainsaw versus Pampas Grass’ shows his own manic desire when moving house and buying a chainsaw to spruce up the garden but instead he got carried away and gave the chainsaw its own personality of destruction. Yet within his seeming mere recount of a chainsaw experience, Armitage delved down to deeper, unthought levels. His Poem has odes to the Garden of Eden within its theme of natural versus unnatural. He even went on to ode his poem to having undertones of the British Civil war. Odes we as a class had not picked up on. Armitage demonstrated to us as the audience the amount of depth, thought and resistance it takes to write a poem and all the layers we consider in class, all the undercover analysis, Poets have already thought of them. Armitage presented that it’s a poet’s world and we’re just analysing them.

By Rachel, Year 12

The conference as a whole definitely gave me more inspiration and support in poetry. I loved listening to all of the poets speak about their journeys and their backstories behind their poetry. It helped me understand the deeper meaning behind the poems and how they are meant to be spoken, which I really enjoyed. I especially give credit to Ros Barber for her emotional performance of reading her poem. The drive behind it created an art that makes you feel what she is feeling and I believe that is what made it really special to listen to. She spoke out about how she dealt with the grief of her mother by using ‘black humour’. Not many people can admit how they deal with grief or find it hard to speak up about it but she was very open and strong, which made you feel like you need to have more confidence in yourself. She was an extremely inspirational speaker and I loved her vibe and energy about poetry. In fact, I loved all the poets’ energy; they all brought their own style and tone, which I believe glued the conference together.

By Poppy, Year 12

The poems of the decade conference was highly educational in helping me understand some more context about the poems that were studying. In my opinion I enjoyed the talk from Ros Barber the most as her talk felt personal as she explained the context and history behind her poem ‘Material’. In her talk she spoke about her mother and shared some sentimental moments from her childhood explaining how her poems were a way to bond with her when there wasn’t anything else. The death of Ros’s mother was harsh on her, and she explained how her poem shows her grief as throughout the poem she tries to avoid the subject of death even though that’s what she originally set out to write about. Her talk gave the poem a deeper meaning as her emotions were evident and I liked how she was able to be raw with the audience about it even though it seemed to still be a sensitive subject for her.

By Nadine, Year 12

I felt deeply inspired by the emotional vulnerability the poets showed as they opened up about their work, especially Ros Barber. I loved how they offered an insight into their work explaining the truth behind what motivated their poems. Daljit Nagra opened up about his political poem, “Look we have coming to dover!” He spoke about the poem giving immigrants a voice and the importance of doing so, this moved me and encouraged me to stand up for what I believe. Meeting the poets felt really rewarding to me, it was amazing how lovely and helpful they were in answering any questions we had. I would definitely recommend the poetry conference to anyone because it has guided me into gaining a greater understanding of the poems as I can connect with the passion the poets pour into their work.

By Lottie, Year 12

Ros Barber spoke with such emotion and rawness to the crowd as she explored the context of her poem, ‘Material’. She focused much less on the analysis of the poem, but instead gave an insight into the context of the poem which was created due to the sudden death of her mother, which was such an intimate topic to be sharing. In her talk, Barber described it as a poem she ‘needed’ to write rather than something she wanted to. As an A-Level student, it was so beneficial to hear the reasoning behind the poem from the poet themselves, including minor details which only they would be able to know and share, as it helps me to further understand the poem. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing from all poets, but especially Ros Barber, as the depth of her loss and grief was felt not just through the reading of the poem but also from revealing her own vulnerabilities with the crowd as she shared with us the story of how she came to write it and also how it helped her cope and come to terms with the loss of her mother.
