The Shadowing Scheme is run by the Poetry Book Society in collaboration with the English and Media Centre. We hope that students will be encouraged to read the poems and to take part in a poll to vote for their choice of winner. There will also be a competition for individual ‘A’ level students to write the best 500 word rationale for their choice of poet.
Prizes for the winning student include tickets to the T S Eliot Readings and the award ceremony in January 2011, with the chance to meet the winning poet, and a complete set of the 10 shortlisted titles.
For further details, please visit the Poetry Book Society website at www.poetrybooks.co.uk/projects/15. The Scheme will start on 21st October and a teachers’ guide will be available on the emagazine website at www.emagazine.org.uk.
