This evening, Judy and I went to “A Night of Poems and Poets
Inspired by Our Great City” at the Mansion House.
The event was curated by Helen McCrory, Allie Esiri and
Kate Birch, and also featured poetry readings by Damian Lewis. It was
organised in aid of The Lord Mayor’s Appeal.
After a refreshing glass of fizz, we were ushered in to The
Egyptian Room for the poetry reading, which was very well crafted, featuring
excerpts and poems written by poets over the centuries who have lived in the
City of London.
This part of the evening was followed by a reading of poems
by composers from the Onside young people of the Barking and Dagenham poetry
project.
