New Cemetery

In "New Cemetery," the UK Poet Laureate explores the intersection of land, beauty, and loss through a poignant poem sequence. Set against the backdrop of a cemetery being constructed in West Yorkshire, the collection captures the poet's daily reflections while grappling with themes of mortality during the COVID-19 lockdown. Written in evocative tercets and inspired by the artist's walks through the evolving landscape, these lyrics invite listeners to confront the realities of human existence and cherish what they hold dear amidst the passage of time.
