Witnessing Words

November 23, 2021 Fi Burke

My world of words has just grown larger and richer thanks to the insightful and exceptional poetry teachings of poet Sarah Wescott.

This exciting journey with the written word continues and each step seems to be cementing a deeper connection with poetry.

 “Poems can bear witness to the deep-soul moments.” Sarah Westcott.

I have learnt to pay more attention to what I hear, that poetry can take on all shapes and sizes and that it really can be as true and as authentic of an expression as visual art. 

Language can be connector, facilitator, soother, uniter, conveyor, and transporter.

And ultimately, “all writing is a collaboration with yourself”. Sarah Westcott.

Poetry is giving me the ears to hear myself, to listen out for mother nature.

I laugh at myself sometimes (actually a lot!), my first visit to a hide in a proper bird watching place (Burtonmere wetlands) and I'm loving everything about the experience - the birds, the sounds, the tranquility, the meditative nature of it all. So
Here's Larry and Andy enjoying being part of Chester's first Photo Festival. It's all over now but it sounds like it will be back next year. Thanks to Alex and the team for organising such a successful and gargantuan event.

Post includes 2 reposts.
If you love photography and can get to Chester, I recommend checking out Chester's First Photo festival
@chesterphotofestival

It's a festival that seeks to celebrate the democratisation of photography as an art, enabling photographers at all levels
More collaging of Kant going on! Debating whether to add in one of my poems about trees... Too much?!
