Poetry as living performance
Recitations
Old English, aloud
The Wanderer — full recitation
The great elegy of exile, in Old English with subtitled translation.
The Seafarer — by candlelight
A mood-led reading for a dark evening.
Beowulf: Into the Mere
The descent to Grendel’s mother — the poem’s darkest water.
On the Ground
Place-based history
Maldon at low tide
Walking the causeway where the battle turned.
A shieling above the sea
Shelter, stone, and the shape of an ordinary life.
Winter in the hall
How a household survived the dark half of the year.
