The first of a series of new, short poetry-films I’m making now and as the lockdown unfurls in the UK, across spring and summer 2021. They will centre around London and its history. This first one is shot outside the house Verlaine and Rimbaud lived in briefly, which happens to be just a few minutes from my studio and something I discovered entirely by accident, just walking by. This discovery kind of prompted me to start making these films, each one filmed on a daywalk explore across the city, somehow, vaguely, perhaps, connecting my year in London, without leaving it and walking it so much, with the poets who have lived here in the past. / It’s published as part of Writers Kingston Online too - a program of new films and video performances to stand in lieu of live events www.writerskingston.com/online
