Introduction X

The Writing Squad present a brilliant collection of new poetry from their poets and alumni. Every two years the Writing Squad recruits writers between the ages of 16 and 21 and works with them to develop their writing through workshops and tutorials. These writers come from a range of backgrounds but whatever else they are up to, they are writing. Squad alumni include published poets and novelists, singers and sound artists, performance poets, journalists, radio producers, TV writers, film makers and playwrights.
