The brief was to write a short poem for display alongside certain artefacts. Here's the cast of the skull of Bishop James Kennedy, and here's my poem, displayed on a card in the glass case:
He has become his own reliquary,
a mirror image of a prayer.
Put your ear to his shell,
hear it fill with his breath.
There are some wonderful poems by the other winners Pippa Little, Janette Ayachi, Chris Lawrence and Ruth Aylett. Go take a look here.
