Joanna Skelt is currently the City of Birmingham Poet Laureate, UK.

Produktbeschreibung
Joanna Skelt is currently the City of Birmingham Poet Laureate, UK. This collection presents poems around the theme of the central core of her worldview: the inter-connectedness of cultures and peoples. From the multicultural communities of Birmingham depicted with deep empathy, to her times spent in Africa, she reflects on the differences of peoples and sameness of the human experience; and on her perceptions of the beauties of place in all their myriad manifestations, as in the title poem: "The great wheel turns into 2014, another archway and races on...Each new year we stop, link hands sweep the past aside as if it were easy to rejuvenate, rebuild, reinvent ourselves as if it were easy to forgive". Addressing the challenges and realities of our world, she sees hope in the "glorious and extraordinary merging and transcending of difference". Joanna's work and readings reveal a passionate engagement with the world around her (and beyond) through its many levels and layers. It is perhaps not surprising that her own story, losses and loves have been deeply linked to this ongoing narrative.
