Book & calendar from Cambridgeshire
We are very pleased and proud to present the two main published outcomes of John's work in Cambridgeshire.
The book contains 46 new poems which are made from the words of the people with dementia John met in the course of his residency. The cover picture is by Jan Bilston, and there is artwork inside by Jo Chapman. The top picture here is of Lynda, John and Bryan Kingman, a man who participated in the project. The following quote comes from Bryan about his experience:
When I was at school I didn't have any interest in poetry at all and I've ignored it most of my life. John has made me interested in poetry for the first time in my life and I've found it very inspiring.
The book is available from Lynda Martin at £3.50 - all proceeds go back into the project.
The calendar contains poems from the book, plus artworks by individuals living with dementia who are members of Alzheimer's Society groups meeting at Arbury and Great Shelford and working with artist Alan Hudleston.
Please email Lynda if you would like a copy of the calendar.
