We learnt this country fiercely;
my father felt its knuckles crush his jaw
my mother delivered its children
In our newest film, Selina Nwulu reads her poem "Half Written Love Letter."

As I walked out one evening,
Walking down Bristol Street,
The crowds upon the pavement
Were fields of harvest wheat.
"As I Walked Out One Evening," a favorite by W. H. Auden, read by Peter Halstead. See our full film here: ow.ly/rS8H50zwmFx
