Grand Union Bridge by Ian Duhig

Poet: | Nationality: | Filmmaker:

Another of Alastair Cook‘s filmpoems for the Poetry Society in partnership with the Canal and River Trust as part of the Canal Laureate 2013 project. See my post of Lifted for more details. Jo Bell writes,

Ian Duhig’s poetry combines a deep learning with a lively wit, and a strong sense of Irish heritage as well as a need to honour the workers of a former age. His poem, Grand Union Canal, takes us to Paddington Basin in London.

Ian Duhig reads his text in the soundtrack, which was composed by Luca Nasciuti.
