This is me, reading 'The Architect', awarded second prize in the inaugural Resurgence Prize at Leighton House Museum. (The lovely blonde mane in bottom right belongs to none other than Joanna Lumley. Also in attendance were two of the judges, Jo Shapcott and Sir Andrew Motion, as well as the wonderful Satish Kumar.) The Resurgence Poetry Prize is the world’s first major ‘ecopoetry’ award. http://www.resurgenceprize.org/
