After Words
This was a memorable event – Uprooted (screening of films about the refugee and migration crisis) was very well received and the poets that Fran selected to recite between film sections seemed to marry seamlessly with the films. One poet said that she felt the films added to or contextualised their readings, which was really meaningful. Fran made everyone feel very much part of the event, which was constantly stimulating. Great memories and talks by Dave Bonta – I particularly liked his haikus, and Mary McDonald’s wonderful, fun, helpful and detailed explanation of working with different apps. Her evening workshop was an eye opener. Want to go back next year. More later.
