Poems in Parliament

A growing collection of found poetry using the Hansard - the edited verbatim reports of proceedings of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

​

Found poetry is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them.

​

Each poem aims to distil and reflect upon the original parliamentary debate, giving readers an emotive peak inside our government proceedings (in under five minutes).
