National Poetry Day

With Kyffin Williams painting "The Dark Lake"
 A great way to celebrate National Poetry Day - an afternoon at Swindon Art Gallery for the launch of "Separate Ways", the anthology of the Blue Gate Poets based on the modern art collection there. Those of us with poems in the anthology led the audience around the gallery and read our work in front of the painting which had inspired it; later Tamar Yoseloff (who had led the original workshop) read from several of her publications. Tamar has such a talent for using one work of art to inspire another - and equally to inspire enthusiasm for this approach in is those of us who can only dream of attaining such heights!
