Morning Arrives


Stars will leave the sky

when all the night is gone

and we have worn the dark

down to a thread.


The sun drifts up

and pulls the light of day

across a morning rose,

a tree,

across a thought

we mean to use

to start another day.

The Man Who Painted His House

As part of the 2025 Cambridge Festival -  “The Man Who Painted His House presents a poetic exploration of the work of David Parr. Made in collaboration by Jarman Lab and Birkbeck, University London created by Dr Victoria Mills and Lily Ford, with original music composed and performed by Richard Uttley.”

David Parr’s work is absolutely beautiful.
