I took these photos on Saturday 27 May 2017 at the 4th Festival of Suffolk Poetry. It was a riveting day, with poetry workshops (thank you, Gregory Warren Wilson, for the one I attended on music and poetry), mini-workshops provided by the students at Suffolk ONE - not forgetting readings from our special guests and presentations from representatives of the Suffolk Poetry Cafes. David and I each read a poem in the Open Mic slot (photo
here). It was a privilege to hear Lord Phillips interviewing Terry Waite CBE about his new book,
Out of the Silence.
Huge thanks are due to all and particularly to Colin Whyles, Festival Director,
and the SPS Committee members, who masterminded the day.
