Autumn Show

During the Bradford on Avon festival fringe, a fringe without a festival. At the Swan Coach House, The Swan, Bradford on Avon, 8th to 18th September I will be exhibiting and holding events. Provisionally Lesley Saunders will read her prize winning poem,  Julie Mullen returns with her own wonderful style, look out for storytelling with harp, harp with singing and other instruments. I will post final details as I have them.

Being the muse for poetry

Lesley Saunders,  entered the first ever National trust Poetry competition on the spur of the moment not imagining that she would have a chance of winning:   over 1,700 people were inspired to put pen to paper and submit their poems on the theme of ‘Outdoors’.

The judging day was held at Nostell Priory, near Wakefield, where Jo Bell (Director of National Poetry Day: www.nationalpoetryday.co.uk) and Ian McMillan (presenter of Radio 3′s The Verb) whittled the poems down to 12. ‘A poem had to startle, surprise and excite’ says Ian ‘to make our shortlist’. 

 The inspitation for lesleys poem 'leaf Goddess' was a leaf goddess I made from fired clay overpainted with oil paint, it is a beautiful piece of writing and was the winning poem.

  The poem will be published in the September edition of the National Trust Magazine.
I will put it up here as soon as I can.
