@sheilaatim reflects on ‘The Émigrée’ by Carol Rumens, discussing the meaning of home, the strange tangibility of memory, and the stories we tell and retell to the ones we love the most.
Sheila’s full reading features in ‘Dead Poets School’, our own KS3–4 digital teaching materials freely available on our new website (link in bio).
Featuring new readings of KS4 Anthology Poems, lessons from actors on Shakespeare’s language, and lessons on poetry basics, Dead Poets School aims to create an atmosphere in which those studying poetry don’t worry so much about getting it right.
Creds to @alexgabbott for the film and edit.
