Because we can officially announce today that NEW HISTORY LAB is the only university history group in the country that has its own POET LAUREATE. In fact we are probably the only one in the WORLD who has a POET LAUREATE. I'll say that again just incase you didn't catch it first time.
We have our own POET LAUREATE.
She's called Pam Thompson and she's REAL. I mean a real POET LAUREATE. She writes real poems and her first for the LAB is published somewhere beneath this...if you cast your eyes downwards you'll see it. It's about History and it's brilliant - up there with T S Eliot's 'now and England'. I invite comments on this poem from all who wield the pink pen.
Talking of wielding things, not only that, but we are also the first History Lab in the world to have its own HISTORICAL ROMANCE. The author is called Jane Pearson and she has just started it. Bodices are yet to be ripped, title is yet to be bestowed, heroes are yet to be pinked - so come on lads and lasses write your own next paragraph.
