Writing in Education No. 25 is now published and includes articles on creative writing overseas by Graham Mort in Uganda, Esther Lucas in Israel and Graeme Harper in the USA. Liz Cashdan offers some practical ideas as used within her job-share residency in Wakefield primary schools. Naomi Jaffa outlines the history, considerable success and further plans for the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival. In 'Writing from Experience', Colin Evans takes a seriously creative approach to the issues of assessment in creative writing courses.

In place of our regular interview feature, we have printed the poems and emailed critiques offered to each other by five poets who cooked up the idea on a Smiths Knoll writing weekend last summer.
