Workers for the Fringe had the idea that to cheer us all up at a difficult time, Ludlow should be decked out with bunting, each pennant with an artwork or a poem celebrating the beauty of the Earth. Steve Griffiths saw this and began\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto collect poems from past and future books that would fit the bill: Updrafts, they aim to lift your flight, if you're a bird or a reader - with just a few shadows. They complement his Late Love Poems, many of which are included in his latest book: Weathereye: Selected Poems. Ludlow Fringe and Fair Acre Press agreed, and this pamphlet is the result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these times many people are struggling to make ends meet, particularly as things close down as a result of the Pandemic. We will raise money to support Ludlow Food Bank from sales of the pamphlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is an exceptional pamphlet, studded with some of the very best of Steve Griffiths' work. Updrafts explores the richness of the poet's life- long connection to place - and wider skies - in poems of spare but deeply felt and vivid imagery. The landscapes of Anglesey and Shropshire feature here, but so too, do 'three herons, slow\/ and upside down over Harringay' as the poet exercises in his flat. These poems celebrate life, and remind us there is 'no joy but in recognition and discovery.\/\/ No resilience\/ but in the delicate'. Jean Atkin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is poetry attentive to the world, its rhythms, its planetary movements, its seas and hills, its chastening weather, distinctive and engaged, moving but unsentimental.
