Kelham Island to Parkwood

On Saturday 23rd June 2012, Matthew Clegg ran a writing workshop in Sheffield as part of a programme of events set up by http://occursus.wordpress.com / plastiCities. 'Moving with Thought' was set up to explore the relationship between walking and poetry – between the body, the mind and the landscape. The poems on this site have been written by the workshop participants in response to the walk that the group made through the Kelham Island, Neepsend and Parkwood districts of Sheffield on that day.
