We had a fantastic day yesterday, with our wonderful Dead Write workshop taking place between 11am-1pm. The discussion was extremely interesting, covering topics from trees and life to the therapeutic qualities of reading and writing poetry. Don’t worry if you missed this session, we have another taking place today from 5:30-7:30pm at Central Library. Ask for the Dead Write workshop at the information desk and they will point you in our direction!
Below is an excerpt of a poem written by Dave Ward from The Windows Project, who we have been working with in partnership to bring the Dead Write sessions to life.
I want to touch the clouds
But I cannot see them
For they are all around me
And you cannot see me
And I cannot see you anymore
Although I remember you –
The way you always were
Walking beside me through the fields,
Yellow, ochre, amber, green –
And we are side by side
And we kiss by the tree
As if we never kissed before
And we have never kissed before
For we are young again
