The Wordsmiths Book 2021

Introduction Founded in 1996, the Wordsmiths is Somerset College’s literary club, which over 180 students are a part of in 2021, led by Dr Brohier, the 2021 Wordsmiths Student Leadership Team consisting of (Captains) Lilliana Swainson and Sofia Smith, (Poet Laureate) Giulia Provenzano, and (Editorial Team) Calvin Walther, Gaëlle Nicolau, Anna Hori and Helena Hagan, and teachers Mr Walther, Ms Lee and Mr George. This year’s cohort of Wordsmiths is an incredible group of talented and creative writers, who throughout the year, have produced wonderful works of poems, songs and stories. The Wordsmiths have had an exciting year full of events and activities, including annual favourites such as the Write a Book in A Day competition, Wordsmiths Retreat, Storyfest, the podcast, and new initiatives such as Wordsmiths Alumni sessions, the launch of the Junior Wordsmiths for students in the Junior School and the creation of a Wordsmiths book. Thus, the Wordsmiths Book, collated by the Editorial team, is a collection of some of the literature which the Wordsmiths have

created and performed this year. We hope that you enjoy the book.
