This is a unique paid poetry commission themed around the idea of ‘belonging’ within natural landscapes. I will be staying at William Wordsworth’s family home. I will produce a series of original poems (at least three poems of between 20-50 lines or five to six shorter poems between 10-20 lines) inspired by Cumbrian landscapes and ideas of ‘belonging’.
