Documenting Britain

Landscape and Identity

My Documenting Britain project involves collaborating with film makers to create poetry-films which, through a conjunction of image and words, celebrate the complex relationship between landscape, literature, history and identity.

What My Father Didn’t Tell Me

language
he said

that dead space
far side

of our garden wall
where willow-herb

thrives on negligence
and the best

of my apples
fell.
