Ira Lightman makes public art in the North East (the Spennymoor Letters, the Prudhoe Glade, the Gatesheads) and lately Willenhall and Southampton. He devises visual poetry forms and then asks local communities to supply words that will bring them alive. He is a regular on BBC Radio 3′s The Verb. Find out more here and here.
NaPoWriMo is National Poetry Writing Month, in this case April 2012. Write a poem a day. Prompt/exercise for each day. The one for the very beginning was: use the theme of “seize the day.”
