Commission with the community

Working with the Allhallows community to create a booklet of poems

During the first lockdown of 2020 I was contacted by Inn Crowd and Applause to create a series of poems celebrating the community in Allhallows Essex.

It was a wonderful project which allowed me the opportunity to speak (over the phone) with over 25 residents.

Each resident shared stories and myths about their local area and these formed the basis for a series of poems.

You can read the poems here.

I also appeared on local radio to promote the work. It’s an entertaining listen and you can listen here.
