Fire Breathing Dragons
Last updated: 06 November 2008
With poetic giants like Dylan Thomas and Vernon Watkins, Swansea poets can face an intimidating literary heritage.
So perhaps it's just as well that they're starting young and not just learning about writing, but also performing their work.
The boys worked with performance poet and playwright Phil Bowen to create a lively interpretation of the material they have created.
And the aim of the collaborative project, which has been done with students from Swansea Metropolitan University, is to encourage the boys to enjoy writing.
Fiona Richards, Head of English at Bishopston Comprehensive School, said,"We've been delighted with the whole project and the way it's snowballed."
"The boys wrote amazing poetry, and such volumes of it."
But don't just take our word for it - take a look at some of the work they produced

An anthology of their work called 'Fire Breathing Dragons', was produced because their work was so impressive.
