Keen as I am on the visual arts, it is the written word that inspires most of my photography. I’m therefore especially happy to have three of my own poems published this week in the next edition of Slow Burn, the UK-based lyric poetry collection supported by the T.S. Eliot Foundation. Thank you very much @slowburn.poetry

And here, you can experience for yourselves a little bit of the magic of Poetry Weekend! 📝✨

Our third Poetry Weekend at Sandy Hill Arts was SO full of top talent, exploration and positive, creative risk.

@isabellebaafi and Rachel Long - both top UK prize winning poets - were just what we needed, brilliance, warmth, inspiration and enormous talent. Workshops, readings and a fantastic “Live and Wild” evening of variety performances gathered from around the UK with contributions from Forward Prize 2026 nominee Riwa Saab @riwa_sb , @elenakcruz & @grady_moomaw , @hanah_____________ , Baz Lewis @garretandbasement and Rick Foot - it was hugely entertaining and unusual .. really ground breaking. The brilliant @jenferoze read with @_rhianthomas_ , (both award winners) and Jen taught, and wrote her magical poems on the spot! Ruth Sharman and @stephenboyce captivated us. Elvis McGonagall teamed up with talented Sandy Hill Arts artist Tony Kerins @tonykerins_illustration and they had a fascinating free-form conversation about life and documenting it, while Tony painted and Elvis read his hilarious, sardonic poems. Funded by T S Eliot Foundation. We are proud to bring you such a creative offer as this! @tseliotprize, @tseliotfoundation
