Swans Attacking a Nunnery- James Dufficy

According to the developmental test I took,
drawings of a person
by 5-year-old children
should contain at least 10 body parts;
mine had 59.

And when my grandfather was admitted to hospital
and they asked his occupation,
he said 'painter';
so the first things they looked for
were lead intoxication and chronic alcoholism.
Now, I'm down to three eyes only,
but his late work contains some of the most extraordinary..

Creative Routes is an important and dynamic organisation and this poetry competition deserves the strong support of everyone interested in writing; I'm greatly looking forward to reading the entries
Andrew Motion, Poet Laureate

The artistic relationship and dialogue between Creative Routes and the Young Vic creates new adventurous ways of working and new pieces of work. I hope that our relationship with Creative Routes continues to showcase this remarkable group's talents and views. DAVID LAN.
