The Poet
Tree Hour Programme
for Children and Adults
The title
itself shows how being creative with words can have an effect beyond
our normal expectations.
Lucian’s first book ‘Sparky
and the Magic Garden’ was published in 1994. He read this
adventure book to thousands of children throughout England.
“I
understood the importance of meeting my audience, children look
at things in far greater detail than we do – a positive
advantage to being small.”
For centuries communities relied on verse
as a means of passing down stories and knowledge. Poetry forces
the author to be economical in his or her thoughts and to focus
on the beauty of language.
There has been much stigma associated
with poetry in latter years as it has earned a reputation for being
sometimes difficult to understand or self-indulgent, often dwelling
on subjects such as love-lost, or death, without perhaps attempting
to supply an explanation or to fully entertain the reader.
The
purpose behind The Poet Tree Hour Programme, is to bring poetry
to children and adults which is clear to understand and can be
easily enjoyed.
By listening to the poet and artist
the poems are read as they were intended to be heard. This will give the
listener confidence in reciting these poems and works by other
poets.
The programme is also intended to encourage children and
adults to write poetry themselves. Generating encouragement can
be achieved by simple instruction and through the power of inspiration.
As the tree symbol suggests the programme aims to help all those
participating, to grow.
