Knock Knock

This poem was commissioned by Eye Cymru, a revolutionary immersive laser and sound experience taking place at Cardiff Castle in 2022.

Bardd Plant Cymru, along with other poets, was tasked to meditate on the theme of 100 Words of Hope for a special spoken word section planned to feature as part of the event next year. The completed works will be showcased as the inspiration for others to think about the future in a post pandemic world. Eye Cymru and Literature Wales will be inviting people to send in their own meditations and compositions to a dedicated page at www.eyecymru.com which will be launched in early 2022. In keeping with the inspiration behind Eye Cymru which is billed as a collective moment of connection and contemplation, submissions are particularly welcome from people hardest hit by the pandemic.

The best of the entries will be selected by our poets and become a part of the Eye Cymru experience during the spoken word feature weekend. Some entries will be pre-recorded and broadcast into the soundscape. Others will be transferred into raw data and beamed into the night sky as part of the laser works.

Those people whose 100 Words of Hope are selected will be our VIP guests to the show their words are performed at.
