The Soil Never Sleeps... in Shropshire

Gigpoetry
Written By Jason Conway

I'm very much looking forward to giving a launch reading from the second, extended edition of The Soil Never Sleeps in Shropshire next week, at the Acton Scott Historic Working Farm, alongside two excellent poets, Jean Atkin and my step-father Roger Garfitt.

They will be launching their new books too: Roger's The Action is just out from Carcanet, and Jean Atkins' How Time Is in Fields  has just been released by Indigo Dreams.

The reading takes place at 7.30 p.m. on Wednesday, August 28th and entry is free. There may even be a shire horse at the gate to welcome you in...

To know fully even one field or one land is a lifetime’s experience. In the world of poetic experience it is depth that counts, not width. A gap in a hedge, a smooth rock surfacing a narrow lane, a view of a woody meadow, the stream at the junction of four small fields – these are as much as a man can fully experience.

Patrick Kavanagh, from The Parish & the Universe

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.
