Dear friend,
During the long summer holiday we are hoping to create a poetry installation in and around our centre in Birkenhead, by hanging hundreds of luggage labels on which are written one or two lines from our favourite poems.
“String is a very important thing. Rope is thicker but string is quicker”, Spike Milligan
Would your organisation like to take part? We are hoping to have over one thousand labels to hang, and it would be great if you could help us achieve this target.
“That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless unremembered acts of kindness and of love”, William Wordsworth
All we are asking people to do is to write one or two lines from their favourite poems onto a luggage label, and add the name of the poet, and their own name, if they would like.
“I was much too far out all my life, and not waving but drowning”, Stevie Smith
If you would like your organisation to take part, contact us on 0151 647 7587, or by email on [email protected] or [email protected] and we will send you as many luggage labels as you would like. People are welcome to complete more than one label. When they are ready, contact us and we will pick them up.
“They sailed away, for a year and a day, to the land where the bong tree grows”, Edward Lear
“Instructions for living a life: pay attention, be astonished, tell about it”, Mary Oliver
