I’m very pleased to have had have two poetryfilms included in this year’s Wirral Poetry Festival Video Anthology. ‘Darling Blue’ and ‘The Day-Dreams’ are my poetryfilm versions of two poems from my collection Darling Blue (Indigo Dreams, 2025). They’re both inspired by Pre-Raphaelite art, including Millais’ ‘Little Speedwell’s Darling Blue’ from the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight. It’s wonderful to have them in the festival anthology, which was screened at the Lady Lever Art Gallery as part of this year’s festival and is now online on the festival website here.
