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.

Autumnal scenes from the River Dee at dusk. Mixed feelings - love the light, the colours, the glow. Not so keen on the day moving to night so early. Why does it take me by surprise every year !? 😱
From the archives! A prompted 'journey' back today to all things flour and bread. This was part of an installation at the wonderful Harrington Mill Studios as part of the British Art Show Fringe. I'm thinking 2011 or 2013?
Someone's enjoying a strawberry instead of my usual monkey nut offering!
Scenes from this week's trip to London. All in one day - me and a Gormley, Brit Museum architecture v's mid century on the side of the rail track.
