    Im honoured to have been a part o this project and tohave worked with this group o young people rom Copland

    Community School in Wembley. The workshops were heldat the amazing Tricycle Theatre in Kilburn. Their poetry was

    beautiul, honest, brave and playul. It was so inspiring towatch them grow in both condence and crat. Special thanksto the brilliant poet and ellow workshop leader Dzia Benson,

    the amazing Jason Archie or all his unwavering support andincredible energy, the talented artist Pia Jaime and the backbone o this entire project, Philip Cowell or his constant

    dedication. Many thanks to John Lyons Charity, the Calouste

    Gulbenkian Foundation, the Pack Foundation and ArtsCouncil England or their support in making this book.With love,

    Every Monday or three months, 60 young people who had

    only recently arrived in the country (and spoke hardly anyEnglish), came to PEN writing workshops at Londons TricycleTheatre. The sessions were led by the poet Warsan Shireand me. We both agree that the sessions challenged our

    abilities to convey the power o language and the beauty owords to the young people, given their hesitancy with English.

    In the end, we both agreed, we learned just as much romthem as they did rom us.

    The poetry rom all the young people was enlightening, real,earless and beautiul. I am honoured to have witnessed how

    ar they have grown and how much their speaking, reading andwriting o English grew in condence in three short months.

    I am so grateul to have been involved in this project and thankEnglish PEN or making it possible.Keep writing all!

    My DreamRiasat Jabarkhel

    Last night in my dream, in my sleep,

    I went to Aghanistan.I saw my little sisters, Naza and Frishta.

    My sisters were happy there.

    Then two people came along.

    They took my little sisters and ran away.

    I woke up no sisters, no people.

    My Journeyto EnglandSumaya Shari

    Having to leave my countryand all my riends was not

    easy at all. The night beore

    I let, some o my riends

    came to say Goodbye and

    I elt so sad. This morning

    came aster than usual, at

    least I thought so, but then

    we were ready to go.

    While the car was passing

    through my town I watched

    the houses where my riends

    and my teachers live. I elt

    so empty and lonely. In the

    aeroplane I elt a little better

    because I started to think

    about England. I was so

    excited and happy as I would

    have a new lie in ront o

    me and I knew it wouldntbe easy but I didnt think it

    would be this hard!
