Look Into My Lights

Acclaimed children's poet Joseph Coelho and three pupils from St Clement Danes Primary School perform Coelho's poem 'Look Into My Lights', commissioned by The Poetry Society for the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree 2018. The poem is displayed on a vibrant banner around the tree until early January 2019. Film by Hamlett Films. Read the poem here: http://poems.poetrysociety.org.uk/poe... Since 2009, The Poetry Society has worked with the Royal Norwegian Embassy in London to create a poetry project inspired by the Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree, which is now established as a central part of the tradition. Poetry from workshops in Westminster primary schools is presented each year to one of the UK’s best children’s poets. Their task is to produce a new poem celebrating the gift of the tree from the Mayor of Oslo. The poem is read out at the official lighting up ceremony and displayed around the base of the tree.
