Partner News – Poetry By Heart
Litdrive is delighted to announce a partnership with Poetry By Heart. Founded by former Poet Laureate Andrew Motion and current co-director Dr Julie Blake in 2013, Poetry By Heart, the national poetry speaking competition, is open to all schools and colleges in England. It invites young people to choose poems they love, learn them by heart and perform them in a school or college performance event. School staff then select students to enter the national round of the competition, submitting videos of their poem performances.
