Three brilliant evenings in 2024 at the National Gallery Lates where I’ve had the chance to write and perform new poems on paintings in the collection, and then invite another poet writer, and some of my students, to do the same. I was joined by Elaine Mitchener, Caitlin Nugent, Holly Appleby and Eleanor Wilders, and I read on paintings Pan and Syrinx by François Boucher and Cenotaph to the Memory of Sir Joshua Reynolds by John Constable. The audience was really sizeable and really generous. This was an exceptional all around effort, and a perfect way to cap off six commissions of this kind.
