Jean ‘Binta’ Breeze, Ian McMillan, Jane Draycott, Tom Leonard, & Peter Finch - all shot with the author on location – in Brixton, Barnsley, Didcot, Glasgow & Cardiff respectively – gorgeous productions acknowledging that a poem is often an invocation of place & bears within it wonderful filmic potentials
