About Chris
If you like your poetry wild, zany and yucky, you’ll certainly find plenty to laugh at. But, in poems such as “Elvis the Ugly Baby” and “The Little Blue Lion“, Chris also delves into difficult ideas about what is and isn’t “normal” and how individuality counts. And, of course, being Chris, he manages to make it funny as well.

Chris’s AIM High Writing & Illustration Days

When is an AIM High Writing Day not just a writing day? When it includes illustrating too! Not only will participants produce a range of vibrant and colourful poems during the day, but they will also create drawings to go along with their words.

Chris encourages his classes to enjoy being creative and use their imaginations to conjure up crazy characters and comic drawings to supplement their creative writing.

As one teacher commented, “”Fabulous! All children totally engaged throughout. Ideas poured from Chris. Hope they’ll always remember the session.’ The session is challenging yet cheerful, productive yet pleasurable. As two participants beautifully put it, ‘I didn’t know poetry could be that good!’ and ‘Funniest poet I have ever seen and I learnt things!’
