Welcome! The Foundling Museum and UrbanWords have asked the poet, Subhadassi, to work as Writer-in-Residence at the Foundling Museum from September-November 2007. Subhadassi will do his own research and writing and also work with three groups of local young people to encourage them to explore and creatively respond to the stories of the museum. Their work will be showcased on 22nd November as part of the Arrivals festival curated by Create KX to celebrate the opening of the new Eurostar terminal at St Pancras.
Subhadassi was born in Huddersfield in 1967. In 1998 he began to devote his time more fully to writing, and various commissions, residencies, grants and awards followed.
His full-length poetry collection peeled was published by ARC in 2004. Its title poem received a special commendation in the 2005 Forward Prize.
He recently received an award from the Arts Council to work on his second full length collection of poems.
