The final evaluation of Writing East Midlands Write Here Leicestershire Landscape residency can be heard here:

Thank you very much Natalie and Kerry for such a vital contribution to this evaluation.

Thank you very very very much to all you scapeshoppers – the work on this blog, and the recordings on SoundCloud are filled with your voices.

The residency continues, transmogrified as ‘Poetics of A Campus’, embedded into and funded by Loughborough University.

Live long in landscapes and wander!

of trees that saw a white Christmas
when every little thing got burned.
The harder they winters come…

The helpdesk never answered
(there’s something jammin’ on the one).

A Constructed Cube Round

On the 26th May 2011 a team of artists and poets entered
The Cube in The Phoenix Square in Leicester in England.
The team dug out words in response to Helen Saunder’s
constructed land & city scapes.

The produce can be listened to here:
