The Poetry Bath
Sussex Special: Catherine Greenwood (Part 1)
This episode was recorded on the windswept beach at Cuckmere Haven one morning in early December where I met the visual artist Catherine Greenwood to draw using feathers and her homemade oak-gall ink. While we drew we talked about Catherine's work and the similarities and differences between visual art and poetry. We drew the beach, the sea and the Seven Sisters and were entertained by the sight of Catherine's husband Olly and daughter Tilli climbing across the river on a groyne.
Catherine and I had also met a week or so before for her White Stork Art Safari at Knepp.
The morning Catherine and I got together there was a strong sea breeze and a lot of noise from the river, so the recording is fuzzy in places.
The Poetry Bath's theme tune is composed and performed by Nigel Horn.
In 2023 The Poetry Bath moved to Buzzsprout from Wildhart Radio. You can listen to all 51 earlier episodes via my website.
