OUR PREVIOUS POET FOR PLACES
In summer 2021 HOLT appointed Arnaud-William Mbaki as our first Poet for Places. Arnaud spent three months working with young people to share his enthusiasm for London’s heritage, creating poems and spoken word about places that inspire him.
Listen to Arnaud speaking above about his own background and thoughts on identity and rootedness, and how writing has helped define who he is.
POEMS
Hounslow Heath was notorious for highwaymen and their daredevil activities were romanticised in poems and stories.
