A golden day in Ambleside - perfect for reflecting on poetic responses to this ‘Cultural Landscape’ on the part of those poets who have been inspired to write about this place via writing residency experiences, including Fleur Adcock and the wonderful @ReshmaRuia 📚🍃

I believe you should always re-read your favorite books at different stages of your life. The plot never changes but your perspective does.
