Seventeen poems celebrating Enfield Town and around. Project directed by Anthony Fisher Creator of sound walk Giovanna Iorio Poetry Walk 1 - inspirations 1. Bright Stars by Christine Vial. BRIGHT STARS. Title is from Keats poem “Bright Star” about his love for that girl next door.(Line 2)Interested in the idea of women/ me as creators( rather than muse) and their recognition (or lack of). 2. Cedar Tree by Valerie Darville. A mighty tree reduced to a cold stone stela and plaque. 3. London Road by Anthony Fisher, standing in London Road reflecting on the past and changes that have occurred. 4. Enfield by Karina Vidler. The poet recalls how important Enfield has been to her family. 5. Doubting Thomas by Alan Murray. Written in the voice of my alter-ego, the arch-pessimist, Harry, the poem reflects on that other great pessimist, Thomas Hardy, who married his second wife, Florence Dugdale, in St Andrew’s Church in Enfield. 6. Precinct by Christine Vial. Observational poem built up from visits to Enfield Town precinct. Focus on those who are lost/outsiders among the merry crowds and consumerism. Final line is from the strap line to the first Alien film “In Space no one can hear you scream”. 7. Planting Trees by Mary Duggan. The poem was inspired by the wonderful presence of the great old tree which sprawls across Enfield's Central library green. 8. The Silver Fish by Valerie Darville. The poem is a literal description of a walk I took along the New River from Enfield Town to the Town Park on a very hot summers day. 9. Denmark May 5th 1945 by Anthony Fisher. An end of the war story of two families. 10. Conical Corner by Ruth Hanchett. What inspired me to write Conical Corner is the great sense of history meeting today, the contrast of past and present. 11. Is this to be the Year by M.Anne Alexander. Reflections on New Year’s Day 2020. 12. The New River Loop by Jo Cooper. This was inspired by the tranquillity and beauty of this lovely spot. 13. On Gentleman’s Row by Cheryl Moskowitz. Reflections on the time of Charles Lamb in Enfield. 14. Ginko Baloba by Jayne Buckland. A homage to tree that has a very old and honourable lineage. 15. The Churchyard by M.Anne Alexander.

A soundwalk following the Pymmes Brook Trail which features the voices of people who share their stories about their connection with the brook. The walk follows the Pymmes Brook Trail from Cockfosters as far as the Great Cambridge Roundabout on the A10 from the point of a listener walking down stream. However, it will still work in the opposite direction. The walk could be undertaken in separate sections. For safety the walk stays on the path ways.

All the cities of the world were once dark…. At its heart Open Dark is an environmental project. It considers our relationship with artificial light, why we light up the night and the implications of this; not just light, but other waveforms — radio, electromagnetic and sound.

The rising global heat has awoken something beneath us - vast and inhuman. This thrilling street game challenges you and your friends to follow smell trails into the night to track down an unknown adversary. What would you risk for a handful of hope?
