Voices of Poetry

June 18, 2020 by Julian Girdham in Poetry

For many years our school has had a wonderful summer event: ‘Voices of Poetry’, with pupils and staff reading out poems in many languages. It works. It’s often magical. My colleague Ronan has put it together this year as a virtual audio event, and here are 40 minutes for you. Near the end I read Roger Robinson’s ‘A Portable Paradise’ (here’s my review of the superb book of the same name).
