Pullman on “Off by Heart”
Posted on by Kinders

Philip Pullman talks about the Off by Heart competition in The Times. Showing as part of the BBC’s Poetry Season, the competition was a BBC Two project to coax children to dip their toe in poetry. “Not every child is a sporting hero or the most popular person in class,” said Pullman. “I’m all in favour of giving children an opportunity to shine in other areas, like poetry recital. … The standard was extraordinarily high.” Thanks to Skye.
