Water and Carbon resource

Water and Carbon is an area of the 'A' level specification that many teachers ask for additional support with, particularly with respect to engaging students with it.


The poems were part of the Manchester Literature Festival. 

Details from their website:

In summer 2021, poet Clare Shaw was appointed Carbon Landscape Poet in Residence by Manchester Literature Festival and Lancashire Wildlife Trust. She was commissioned to write a sequence of poems responding to her interaction with the landscape and local people. As part of her residency, Clare ran creative writing workshops for local writing/community groups including the Paperback Writers and Art Tea Group in Leigh.

They can be viewed on Clare's Vimeo channel:
