Abstract: | This article discusses the relationship between poetry and liminal places and revolves around an interview with the British poet John Rice. Rice is a children’s poet and for a time he occupied the post of Glasgow’s subway poet-in-residence. The interview explores the educational implications of such a post and examines Rice’s views on children’s creative writing. This article argues that the writing of poetry is an activity that should be encouraged more enthusiastically in primary and secondary schools given that it offers a number of highly significant benefits for young people. |
