    The Kindness of Trees by Jackie Kay

    As part of the Poetry Society's Look North More Often project, in association with the Royal Norwegian Embassy, Jackie Kay was commissioned to write a new poem to decorate banners at the foot of the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree. The poem, written with the help of school children, was read at the lighting-up ceremony by pupils from St Clement Danes school.
