I have uploaded the short version of the Welei film, following a very successful shoot on Sunday with Poetry ID from Letchworth, of which I am a member. I put this together when I had only just understood the very basics of video editing. I hope the next version, which will be 10 minutes, will give a more satisfying story.
It will consist of a group of poets giving their response to a ‘lost village,’ the peculiar amalgam of kinship and horror that the medieval era induces in popular culture, and to the traces of the imaginable past on our contemporary landscape.
