'Kin' - A Poem for Winter Dusks


This is me reading my poem about starlings roosting or murmurationing or whatever it is they do.  It's also about my extended family and our annual get-together in honour of Hilda Hill, my grandmother.  



'Kin' is from my 2012 collection 'Communion', published by Indigo Dreams Publishing, and also 'Inking Bitterns' - a book of poems and pictures for wild places, illustrated by Dru Marland.  It is published in association with Poetry Can and available from Gert Macky books and good independent bookshops.
