A Feast Of Words And Image
Miriam Harrison
Doncaster based performance poet, a former teacher and actress who co -organised the Doncaster Foodbank Festival in 2023, raising £900, and in 2024, directed and produced ‘Under Milk Wood,’ for RTW at Doncaster Little Theatre raising £1,200 for Multibank/ FoodBank. Historical, mythological and magical roots inspire her poetry.
Freida resonates with me, not that I got pregnant, of course, but that school atmosphere - Victorianism and religeon used to pulverise human spirit. I like the imagery throughout, moon quakes n all, bring a kind of Keatsian language into the present and exploring those areas of the mind others seem oblivious of:)
