The “words on a line” world premiere

Yup, calling it a world premiere may sound hyperbolic. But, technically at least, it happens to be true…
So here I am in full flow (rapture the photographer, Fabio Barry, called it) belting out one of the poems I read to a packed house (more hyperbole) in the Secret Garden behind the Castle Bookshop in Ludlow on August 5th.
Links to each poem below.
- Lost Words
- The Hare
- The patron saint of paint
- Shaving
- Black Hole
- Swift
- One day when I’m gone
I am indebted to my poetry coach Pele Cox for getting me this far. The journey has only just begun.
