Friday Poem - Duino Elegy #9 by Rainer Maria Rilke

A hasty Friday Poem this week, after the failure to post last week thanks to an excess of work preparing a new poetry and music project for this August's Stroud Fringe Festival (more on this in the coming weeks).

This Friday's poem was recorded a while back because I loved the music of it and was exploring Rilke. I'm posting it today because I'm off to the Ledbury Poetry Festival to read with several European poets as part of the Versopolis project, as well as with Liz Berry, Eleanor Rees and others (Sunday 5th July at 6pm - come along!).

I'm a creative guru, visionary artist and eco poet based in Gloucestershire UK.

I love designing Squarespace websites for clients as well as providing a full range of graphic and website design services. My clients are passoinate entrepreneurs that are making a positive difference in the world.

Clients can hire me for brand and marketing strategy, content research, content writing and content management, social media training and management, blog and article writing, book design, book cover design, self publishing help, packaging design and sign design.

I'm a creative coach helping passionate and ethical business owners to create sustainable businesses geared for a healthy work life balance and helping to break through blocks and regain or maintain focus. I use creativity as a key problem solving tool and motivator.

As an artist is create inspirational works of art for private and corporate clients, from full size wall graphics and installations for offices, conference areas and receptions, to cafe's and restaurants to health and wellbeing centres. Any wall or space can be transformed with large scale art, which is a key motivator for staff and can reduce work related stress. I also accept private commissions for paintings, sketches and illustrations.

As a published poet I write about the joys of nature and the human devastation of it. I also write poems for brands and businesses to engage their audiences in new and more thought provoking ways.
