Two Events at LYRA POETRY FESTIVAL, 14th–25th APRIL, BRISTOL, UK

 Liberated Words at LYRA festival will be hosting two poetry film screenings this year. The first one on Saturday 17th 12–1 BST is a joint curation by Lucy and myself, on the theme of Reconnections. Lucy has chosen to feature artists from the South West, covering subjects such as landscape, the body, our emotions in relation to the pandemic and I have chosen a selection on family history, mainly made during Lockdown. I am creating a family history poetry film site at Liberated Words and if you are interested in this subject please get in touch. Artists featured include: Kat Lyons, Rebecca Tantony, Helmie Stil, Helen Johnson, Edson Burton, Yvonne Reddick, Francesco Garbo, Pierluigi Muscolino, Sarah Wimbush and Sarah Tremlett.
