A poetry anthology put together by Year 11 students at the Haringey Learning Partnership (HLP) was unveiled in June.
The HLP-First Story book is called Play Our Song and features beautiful and original artwork. The project was developed with the writer in residence at Commerce House this year, Ashley Hickson-Lovence, who commented:
“It’s been the honour of a lifetime to see this talented group develop as astute wordsmiths week to week. We all must play our part to ensure that young people within our society have regular opportunities to showcase their talent and last night’s launch celebrated in style one of the best poetry anthologies that’ll be released this year. Mark my words, it’s as tender and profound as any collection you’ll find by professional poets in the shops.”
