Poetry at the Stroud On Water Festival
Sunday saw me dashing off to Stroud for the 40 yr celebration of the canal restoration to read poetry at the Stroud On Water Festival. I was sad I hadn’t made it on the previous days to see some of the fantastic acts but very happy to have been asked to read. We were running late so I had to dash (as fast as you can on a crutch) and leave hubby to park. I arrived and was instantly ushered up to read which was a bit nerve racking but I think I managed it ok. Then I was fed coffee, asparagus quiche and eton mess whilst watching the other poets perform.
There were the Stroud Poets and the Apologetic Poets. I have discovered that there are about four different groups of poets in Stroud. The Football Poets, The Stroud Poets, The Stroud Pamphlet Poets and the Apologetic Poets.
The Apologetic Poets did an interesting little sketch involving a wooden puppet some which I videoed which I will attempt to process later on.
The tent had a respectfully full audience including an apparent Victorian!
