Thresholds

Last Thursday I was at the Fitzwilliam Museum for a reading by poet Owen Sheers as part of his residency for the Thresholds project - an ambitious project curated by Carol Anne Duffy. You can read more about it here. Ten poets have been resident in ten of Cambridge's museums and collections and whilst most are heading home to craft poems from their experiences there are more events and readings coming up:
