Places of Poetry

Here’s a wonderful poetry project that caught my attention:

https://www.placesofpoetry.org.uk/

‘Places of Poetry is open to all readers and writers. It aims to use creative writing to prompt reflection on national and cultural identities in England and Wales, celebrating the diversity, heritage and personalities of place.

The site is open for writers to pin their poems to places from 31st May to 4 October 2019. It will then be closed for new poems but will remain available for readers. We welcome writers of all ages and backgrounds. We want to gather as many perspectives on the places and histories of England and Wales.’

I hope I haven’t been too greedy by pinning five of my poems on the map! You can find them by searching these titles on the link below:

Dungeness
Notes from an Archaeological Dig
Winter Holidays
Ice Creams on Worthing Pier
Mên-an-Tol
