Celebration of Poetry


If you are thinking about the possibility of coming to tomorrow's 'Celebration of Poetry', 7.30pm at St Paul's Woodford Bridge (part of the Woodford Festival and the Arts Festival for the Barking Episcopal Area), then here is a taster of the type of poetry you can enjoy ...

'Tim Cunningham's poems are as various and fascinating as the animals in Noah's Ark. He has a most musical ear, a keen eye and an open heart. His aim is true. He writes beautiful poems.' Adrian Mitchell. Click here to read 'Mystery Tours' and here to read 'Cathedral of the Pines'.

Jane Grell - "Thank you for sharing your wonderful work with us. People felt extremely inspired by your stories and poems." Viv (INSET Co-ordinator). Click here to read 'Welcome Cousins', 'Poor Mrs Carnelley', 'La Pluie Ka Tombé, Soleil Ka Claywé (Dominican Creole)', and 'Hold On'.

‘I recommend the work of Malcolm Guite, an English poet and Anglican priest who plumbs the depths of poetry and religious faith like a true metaphysical.’ Luci Shaw. Click here to read 'My poetry is jamming your machine' and here to read 'Saying the names'.
