Echoes of the City podcast

Listen to Washerwomen On Calton Hill by Echoes of the City #np on #SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/user-969716163/washer-women-on-calton-hill The Echoes of the City project have just launched the project and here's the podcast I mentioned in my last post. It's always fascinating when another person reads one of my poems. Another voice can really change how the poem sounds and feels. I'm really delighted with how the reader of my poem, Natalie, seems to bring the words to life and takes me back to the original inspiration for the poem. I took the title of my poem from the Calotype taken by Thomas Begbie in 1887.
