Poet in Residence
Complementing our acknowledgement of ‘The Arts’ as gifts from God, we can now boast our own Poet in Residence. Charged with exploring the various aspects of life at the cathedral, the poet takes up a residence of 12 months, in the hope of being able to reflect something back to our community in ‘The Word made ink’.
The Poet for 2012 -2013 is Martyn Halsall, a former Guardian journalist, Diocesan Communications Officer, Poetry Editor and present published poet from Bridekirk near Cockermouth. Martyn can often be seen sitting in the cathedral, wandering the grounds or chatting to people, listening for the voice of the living God, as he seeks to convey it in words and sound.
Magazine
In partnership with Canon Geoff Smith from Warwick Bridge, (another published poet) ; Martyn has also facilitated a monthly poetry and discussion group at the cathedral called ‘Magazine’. Here, great poets as well as personal contributions are heard and explored ; some members bringing their own poems, others simply enjoying listening. The group is free, and all are welcome (please see the calendar for meeting dates).
