Come and be inspired by Project eARTh participants latest work!

For the past 6 months, project participants have been working with the renowned poet (and ex-Cheshire Poet Laureate) John Lindley to craft poetry on a variety of themes. Work included in the book ranges from being very funny to profound and soul-searching. Participants have penned inspiring poetry on a wide range of subjects which include bat boxes, pets, childhood memories and conkers. There’s even one written about mothers-in-law!

Under the expert guidance of John Lindley, the participants (some of whom have never written poetry before) have experimented with a range of writing techniques, including haiku.

Helen Mort, ex-Derbyshire Poet Laureate, a rising star of British poetry and one of HPCA’s esteemed Ambassadors, has written a foreword to accompany the book.

There will be an official book launch on Thursday March 22^nd 2018, 11am-12.30pm, at Spring Bank Arts Centre, New Mills. All welcome! Guests will be able to hear poems read from the book, enjoy refreshments and have the opportunity to buy copies of ‘Carved from the Earth’ for only £3. All proceeds from book sales will go directly back to High Peak Community Arts.
