The culmination of the residency was a public reading in one of the museum's galleries and an interview with the biographer and editor Jenny Uglow about the new poems and the residency, which I described as a journey of excavation, interpretation and imagination.
I do think it is important to mention that the museum was one hundred percent behind the residency and I was at all times welcomed, supported and encouraged by the directors and staff.
The museum printed a lovely colour leaflet about the residency with information about workshops and the public reading which was available at the entrance to the museum and they also used a photograph of me as the cover image on their Events Guide to highlight the residency.
