麻豆社

To celebrate National Poetry Day 2016 six new poems, inspired by the East of England, have been specially written as part of the #麻豆社LocalPoets project.

Topics include the shoe making industry in Northamptonshire, the River Cam and this poem about the A12.

Performance poet Luke Wright, who studied at the Norwich-based University of East Anglia, was inspired by the many hours he spends driving along the route from his home in Suffolk to Essex where he was brought up.

He says we all have a road to call our own and the A12 is his - ruts and all.
