Unveiled Poetry Evening

Tim Harrold and I shared a selection of poetry and prose from our own collections and those of our favourite poets at tonight's Unveiled Poetry Evening in St Andrew's Wickford.

Tim is a poet who creates images of profound challenge and change, of pause and process, of chrysalis and catalyst. His most recent publication is ‘Verses versus Viruses’. A selection of his filmed Encounter poems and 'A Blessing' (see above) were shown.

My poems and stories have been published by Amethyst Review, International Times and Stride Magazine. I read my short story 'The Clean Up King' and the following poems:

• The ABC of creativity
• The language of angels
• Meditation on Alan Oldfield's Revelations of Divine Love of Julian of Norwich
• Runwell
• Dylan Thomas was more at home with Blake and Vaughan than Marx and Proust
• Windows into the divine
• Not the blind man with the lamp

I also read poems by John F. Deane, Mary Oliver and Spencer Reece, while Tim read poems by E.E. Cummings, W.H. Auden, Wilfred Owen and T.S. Eliot. 

One of those in the audience commented: "A really good evening, stimulating and thought provoking, deepening awareness of how human creativity opens us to a greater sense of God’s creative presence in the world around us."
