I’ve been proud to support local writer Rachel Cochrane with her latest creative writing project, Objects from World War 1 inspire stories and poetry. Her poems are featured in an exhibition at Durham Light Infantry musuem this month.
I read her poem, Butcher’s Lad Billy, inspired by a Sweetheart Pincushion – typically made by soldiers recuperating in France and sent to sweethearts back home.
Thank you for reading my poem ‘Sweetheart Pincushion’ with such conviction and professionalism. It was a real pleasure to work with you.
