Impossible Journeys

Impossible Journeys is an exciting poetry project that brings this powerful, intimate art form into the heart of the Hidden Door experience. Ten new poems written to the theme Impossible Journeys are being recorded and installed throughout the venue for the audience to discover and listen to, forming a thread that weaves through the disparate goings on in the different spaces. 






We've a fantastic list of poets, running from well-established names such as WN Herbert and David Kinloch right through to newcomers yet to publish a full collection. You'll be able to catch a number of them reading at HD2. The full roster of Impossible Journeys poets is: Claire Askew, Dave Coates, WN Herbert, David Kinloch, Rob A Mackenzie, Jane McKie, Kona Macphee, Andrew Philip, Eleanor Rees and JL Williams.






There's a whole other dimension to the project too: several poets are collaborating with visual artists for their installations. So far, we have artist who work in painting, film and neon lined up with, hopefully, more to come. Arists involved include: Alastair Cook, Christiane Kelegher, Val McLean and Greer Pester.
