Radio listeners create poetic county celebration
A poem to celebrate Northamptonshire has been written by a bard using words suggested by people living in the county.
91Èȱ¬ Radio Northampton listeners contributed photos and three words each to describe the place they live.
Northampton's new bard Kezzabelle Ambler used the submissions to create Northamptonshire's DNA, a poem which pays tribute to a county "overlooked and underrated, berated and celebrated anyhow".
She said: "I’ve been commissioned to write poems for weddings, birthdays, funerals and all sorts of unusual things – but never quite something like this.
"I’ve worked with kids where they bring a line to the table and we try and shape it into something – but this has been interesting and I’ve used every single word that was sent in."
