Poetry on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal
With Canal & River Trust staff and volunteers in Wigan
In July I spent a week travelling along the Leeds & Liverpool Canal - the UK's longest - by kayak, meeting people who live and work on the canal and gathering material for poems for the Canal Laureate project. Huge thanks to The Poetry Society, the Canal & River Trust, and the many individuals I met on the towpath for helping to make this journey possible, and a special shout out to CRT Writer in Residence Jasper Winn and Desmond Family Canoe Trail paddler Greg Brookes who kept me company for a day of paddling, including the passage through the mile-long Foulridge Tunnel.
You can read more about the practical aspects of the journey over at the British Canoeing blog, and a full report is coming soon at Waterlines.
