Poems from David Bushrod
Dorset is home to varied mix of writing talent and David Bushrod, is inviting you to Bridport Arts Centre to celebrate some of the most wonderful work. Expect Barnes and Hardy read in a Dorset accent, original work and humorous poems by Bonny Sartin.
David Bushrod is a poet, librettist and author based in Bridport. He will be reading from Marshwood Vale, his collection of gentle poems, which describe his feelings about the beauty, history and mystery of the Dorset landscape.
David will be joined by John Kemp – who has published three books of poetry and for many years ran the Poetry readings at Beaminster Festival, John Challis a member of the Lyme Regis Operatic Society who enjoys giving readings of Dorset poetry in dialect, and Chris Prideaux. Chris has long been a supporter of the performing arts in Bridport and has acted both with the Amateur Dramatic and Operatic Society and Encore. She runs a small group interested in poetry and music, particularly old Dorset poetry and songs.
Bridport Arts Centre’s Programme Manager Margie Barbour said: “Dorset is renowned for it’s beauty and David has assembled is a wonderful kaleidoscope of poems that reflect the bucolic life and the harshness of it’s reality. The powerful readings will fill the venue with the voices of west Dorset over the past 200 years”
