The Art & Poetry Project

Pencil drawing of a blue tit

A forthcoming illustrated poetry collection exploring some of our favourite British birds. This will feature poetry which brings each bird to life, its lifestyle and behaviour, song and calls, its relationship with humand past and present and in particular the folklore of the species.

Each bird will feature an illustration by a talented artist…

Alongside the poem…

A Stanza from the poem – The Garden Sprite.

Fresh-turned soil, his pride of place,

The gardener’s mate with watchful grace,

A flit, a jink, a cock of head,

Then perches on the garden shed
