There are several now and I expect it to continue growing. The ones I know
about include UEA (Andrew Motion), St Andrews (current / recent teachers
include Kathleen Jamie, Douglas Dunn, John Burnside and Robert Crawford),
Stirling, Newcastle (Jo Shapcott and Ian Duhig), Sheffield (where Sean
O'Brien teaches), Lancaster (Bill Herbert), Liverpool (Deryn Rees Jones,
Paul Farley).
The Royal Literary Fund's Winnie the Pooh money (AA Milne left film rights
to the RLF and they have had a huge windfall from Disney) is setting up
various new fellowships. About time too.
