A fruitful weekend!

May 9, 2010 sarahjameswrites

Only a day since the Full Bloom orchard renga finished (www.orchardnetwork.org.uk/renga/ ) and already I’m suffering withdrawal symptoms!

Still, I’ve been keeping myself busy playing squash and trying out skiing at Tamworth Snowdome. I’m not entirely convinced but it was better fun than I expected!

Over the weekend, I’ve also been creating an Into the Yell collection trailer video and video versions of some of my poems (combining my art and photography with audio recordings of my reading). And yes, I admit it, I had quite a lot of technical help from my husband! Now, I can’t wait to share them with the world later this month!

While we’re talking art and poetry, copies of two fantastic pictures by an artist I met at a Stourport poetry evening last month arrived this week. One of the pieces by Lucy Rendle (the top picture in my photo) was inspired by Sylvia Plath’s ‘Mirror‘. (A copy of the poem can be found online at: http://vmlinux.org/ilse/lit/plath.htm .)

Hope everyone else has had a good weekend.
