Poetry Wall Part 2
Recorded 6 months ago
About this recording
The John O’Groats Poetry Wall is a new community artwork in the village play area near the Groatie Buckie Gift Shop. Caithness artist Aimee Lockwood is transforming the wall into a bold, cartoon‑style mural inspired by the local landscape and by the poems’ own images and themes.
Wick Voices has recorded local adults and children reading the poems that feature on the John O’Groats Poetry Wall. The selection includes Caithness dialect favourites, extracts from Scots poems that mention John O’Groats, and poems written and narrated by pupils from Canisbay Primary School. You’ll also find selected extracts from, The movement that light is: A Poetry Walk, curated by award‑winning Scottish poet and educator Katharine Macfarlane.
