Bristol Stanza Group and Lyra Festival present ‘Walking Words’. Both a book and a digital walking trail, accessible through the Explore mobile app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.actolap.explore&hl=en_GB) where spoken versions of the poems are triggered on mobile phones as the participants walk past the specific poem sites. The book, published by Bristol Books is based on the poems.

Lyra is a festival which brings together local, national and international poets and speakers, representing Bristol as a centre of world class poetry and booking artists from across the UK and world.
