and sounds like a bat’s wild shriek

Winners of the 2025 Poetry Competition have been announced!

Poetry is for everybody.

The World in My Head project aims to break down barriers by making poetry-writing accessible to children and adults with special educational needs.

Working with SEN schools, the project empowers students, through accessible word-based and image-based poetry prompts, to create their own poetry and share their voice with the world.
