Three poetry landscape walks for Spring
Join Philip Rush on a series of poetry landscape walks. We will travel back in time from the seventeenth century to Saxon England and then to the mysteries of the Neolithic Age, accompanied by poetry from the first millennium to the present day.
The walks are sometimes circular and sometimes are in there-and-back straight lines. Either way, they have been tried and tested and poems will have been brought together which complement key moments in the journey. The poems will be read aloud at these key moments. There will also be pauses where your own poems may begin for you. Don’t be afraid to bring a note-book.
Dates
Monday March 25th 2 pm Lasborough
Monday April 22nd 11 am Duntisbourne Rouse
Wednesday May 1st 11 am Rodmarton Windmill Tump
Price
£30 for three walks or £12 for a single walk. Booking is below.
If you are a carer or on a low income, you are eligible to pay what you can. Email us: dialectwriters@gmail.com.
Participants will be advised of meeting points and car parks; car sharing will be enabled as possible. The walks will be about three miles each, which is about an hour’s walking, but we always stop to look at things and listen, and then there are the poems, so they last longer. If you want to dash off somewhere afterwards, probably best to think of each walk as a two-hour adventure.
