Booker-winner to Twitter poem

Man Booker-winning novelist Ben Okri is to release a new poem via #Twitter to mark the publication of his new book Tales of Freedom (Rider Books, 2nd April, £14.99), a combination of novella and poems. Okri released the first line yesterday, and will issue a line every day until publication. The poem will then be posted on his Facebook and MySpace pages, along with Ebury Publishing's blog. Okri said: "Forms follows adversity, we live in uncertain times. I think we need a new kind of writing that responds to the anxiety of our age and yet has brevity. "Tales of Freedom, apart from the novella, brings together two short forms - the short story and haiku. My feeling is that these times are perfect for short, lucid forms. We need to get more across in fewer words. The Twitter poem tries to respond to this and the feeling of freedom." - The Bookseller

Exit Winston Churchill, enter Twitter...Yes, it's the new primary school curriculum

"Children will no longer study the Second World War and Queen Victoria, but instead learn about #Twitter and blogging under radical plans to overhaul primary school teaching. The new draft curriculum commissioned by the Government claims that pupils can do without learning about the battle against Nazism and the rise and fall of the British Empire. In a move which will horrify many parents, it would see children focus on internet tools such as Wikipedia and podcasting, as well as innovations such as blogging and Twitter, which allows users to post instant minute-by-minute updates about their lives" - MailOnline
