I picked up a wonderful ‘free word’ postcard from the Free Word Centre this summer. My word was ‘Phrontistery‘ (Noun) A thinking place; an establishment for study and learning’. It was a great pleasure to get together with expert poetry teachers including Joe, Harriet and Roberta (pictured here) and poetry researchers earlier this month in a potential new thinking place for reflecting on poetry teaching/learning with students aged 16 – 19. If this is something that you would be interested in contributing to then please let me know.
Sue Dymoke was a poet, Associate Professor in Education at Nottingham Trent University and a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts. What They Left Behind, her third full poetry collection was published by Shoestring Press in 2018. A posthumous collection, What to do Next, was published by Shoestring Press in 2023, when there was a memorial celebration of her life in University Hall, Nottingham. Sue's memorial video can be seen at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UDDSW_HOEc&t=60s This website is maintained in her memory by her civil partner, David Belbin, but will not be updated.
