"The Headless Horseman"

Cranborne Chase National Landscape and Chase & Chalke commissioned me to write and perform a headline work for their Festival Of Words (2023). Inspired by the Bronze Age Warrior of Bottlebrush Down I wrote an epic poem, "The Headless Horseman".

The following year Cranborne Chase invited me to perform the work at The Larmer Tree and published the poem in a stand alone pamphlet.

I performed the work at Blandford Literary Festival 2024.

The festival told me, "feedback from your poetry performance was incredible"
