I am constantly amazed at the engagement and quality that emerges, often from the most unlikely sources. I would heartily recommend it to any school.

Energy, laughter and creativity. Stephen makes poetry accessible and appealing to young people. All are encouraged to find their voice. I suggest you book now.

Our students are LOVING your courses. They don’t want to do anything else
Sinead Fraser, English Teacher, Mungret Community College
He crafts workshops like a wizard, magnetises us with meaningful graphics and makes even the most disengaged students get active, excited and involved. Highly recommended. Five stars!
Pamela O’Leary, Assistant Principal, Cork Educate Together School
He has achieved the impossible. He has made poetry cool for teenagers. The boys absolutely loved it.

Students often did not want that day to end. I have always been thrilled by the reach of these workshops – all students feel confident participating, and all students produce personal pieces.
Patrick Huff, iNOTE, English Teacher, Ardscoil Mhuire, Limerick
The most unlikely students showed off their poems proudly. I would recommend the workshops to all schools.

I would not consider running a Transition Year programme without including a HeadLit Poetry Workshop.
