‘Bolehills’ in For the Love of…

This summer, I discovered a brilliant Instagram account ‘For the Love Of’ (@_ftlvo), which is a project dedicated to photography, writing and place, celebrating the places we love. Their digital publication, ‘for the love of’, is a collection of photographs and writing which focus in on the details of the places we go to for comfort and joy, remembrance, freedom and the feelings evoked when we arrive.

I am delighted that my poem, ‘Bolehills’, is featured in this publication. It’s a poem about Bolehills park, which is at the end of the road I live on. It is a space I associate with beginnings (the place I made the offer on the the first house I bought), with peace and of course with stunning views.

To check out my poem, and the other brilliant writing and photographs, visit the digital publication here.

Her thesis will develop an innovative approach to memoir which plays with language, truth and rules, writing a meta-memoir on language-constructed selfhood. Sounds fun right?
