Poet in the City is delighted to invite you to an event marking National Adoption Week and featuring two celebrated authors who have written compellingly about their own experiences of adoption. The experience of adoption is difficult for all sides of the adoption triangle but willing parents are still needed for the very many 'children who wait' in Britain today. If you are an adopted person, an adoptive parent, or simply interested in children or in poetry then do not miss this moving, funny and thought provoking evening. Jeanette Winterson is the author of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (1985), The Passion (1987) and many other novels including two books for children, Tanglewreck (2007) and The Battle of the Sun (2009). She will be reading from her new memoir about her childhood and the effects of adoption in a creative life. Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? is published by Jonathan Cape on 27 October 2011. Jackie Kay's first book of poetry The Adoption Papers (1991) is an emotional account of her early life. More recently, she is the author of Red Dust Road (2010) – the story of finding her birth father and mother – and Fiere (2011 - both Picador), a book of poems coming out of that experience. The event will be chaired by Margaret Reynolds, Professor of English at Queen Mary, University of London, presenter of BBC Radio 4 'Adventures in Poetry', and the author of The Sappho History (2003). She is also an adoptive mother.

Dear Colleague
Outside Chance delivers high impact, early intervention, thought provoking, behaviour challenging workshops - 'It's YOUR Choice!' - in Greater London secondary schools. Almost 100,000 young Londoners have attended our workshops since 2003. Our approach is born out of 13 years' experience of working with more than 5,000 very challenging juvenile offenders in a number of male young offender units including HM YOI Feltham. We are regularly seeing young men in HM YOI Feltham who are now starting out on 15, 18 and 20 year minimum sentences, in many cases, NOT because of what they actually did in terms of committing crime but because of the group or gang with which they were involved.
Thanks to some NEW two-year funding from The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, we are able to offer FREE workshops in the borough on a first come, first served basis.
We have attached a pdf of feedback from students and teaching staff who have seen our workshops to give you some indication of the impact we can make on young people's thought processes. Feedback can also be viewed on our website at http://www.outsidechance.org/user_feedback/ A breakdown of workshop content and more about our approach can be found on our website at www.outsidechance.org
If you wish us to visit your Hammersmith and Fulham school or youth group, please call us on 020 8563 7700 or email vicoutsidechance@aol.com with your contact details and we will get in touch with you.
Our diary availability can be found at our online diary at http://j.mp/ianrossoutsidechance Choose a free date and then give us a call.
We look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Best wishes
