Write Lines runs poetry projects for young people in and around London, in which writers and educators (poet coaches) work with students in schools to develop a range of poems for performance and publication.

In 2007 London Link Radio was a media partner in the project, recording students during rehearsals and at the final showcase where they performed their work, and interviewing the poet coaches and organisers.

You can also find out about the anthology of the students' poems, The Freedom of Paper and Ink, published by Salt Publishing in April 2008.
