Poetry on the Metro

Taking the theme ‘My City’, new poems were written by young poets across NewcastleGateshead. The poets were initially inspired by the Even Better Writers Programme delivered across 8 schools.

Ten poems were chosen to be presented on posters and carriage cards on the Tyne and Wear Metro during Juice 2009.  This fantastic collection of poems was written by Robert Adamczyk-Hedley age 11, Ellis Caisley age 10, Mathew Dobson age 10, Max Gallagher age 11, Catherine Jones age 11, Shivani Lal age 14, Beth Leckie age 9, Kiran Lloyd age 13, Varun Narayanan age 16 and Ryan Todd age 9.

The Poetry on the Metro project was presented in association with New Writing North.
