Watch: Video poetry

Your 成人快手 Staffordshire website always likes to try new things. So we thought we'd push the boundaries and get a bit arty with video poetry!

If you don't get much of a chance to read or listen to poetry, 成人快手 Staffordshire online can help.

Lichfield based poet Stewart Derry approached us a few months ago with the idea of getting some poetry听produced and filmed specially for our site. We thought it would be a good idea to try this artistic experiment locally so we set him to work!

With the help from our Video Reporter Tim Parker, Stewart wrote the poems and created the visual aspect for video. He also did most of the filming.

We've commissioned five in all which you can watch on this page.

Take a look and tell us what you think!

A Sea of Stories

A short film about the landscape of memory inspired by the wonderful setting of the memorial arboretum in Alrewas.

Cathedral Resurrection

The first of three films inspired by the recent discovery in Lichfield Cathedral of a stone carving of the Angel Gabriel dating back to c.AD700.

The Angel Gabriel emerges out of a dark and violent past to encounter life in the 21st century. What strange encounters await him in the city of Lichfield?

City Streets

The second of three films inspired by the Lichfield Angel. The Angel leaves the cathedral and flies into the heart of the city in search of answers, but is too weak and confused to reveal the truth until he meets with a beautiful young woman.

The Exchange

The conclusion to the three films inspired by the Lichfield Angel. The Angel Gabriel goes on a perilous journey, inhabiting the lives of very different people in the city until, at last, he discovers another guiding light.

Jayne Preston
Really enjoyed this one - wonderful verse and great film. Congratulations.

gavin
thought the videos were moving and captivating. The woman was beatuiful and the young girl was fantastic.

Jo Cursley
I really enjoyed these poems - evoked Lichfield well for me as a former resident! The ideas of materialism versus the spiritual needs of society worked really well. I liked the images with the poems it made me think on two levels. I hope the 成人快手 commissions you to do some more as I would love to see some more of your work.

Jan Green
The filming around Lichfield for 'City Streets' evokes well the rush of emotions encapsulated in the poem. Very enjoyable, Stewart.

Hilary Emery
Vivid poetic imagery is complemented by video. They are beautifully crafted and I look forward to the rest.

Jill Tollafield
Amazing poetry! Stewart, you are a man of many talents. Great video. Looking forward to the next one.

Had a look at the third film - City Streets. These films just get better! Clever use of locations and ideas to sweep the story along. Well done!

I found Sea Stories thought provoking. Well done.

Another fantastic film & verse. Great views of my birthplace too!

I really like this film! Imaginative storytelling on an epic scale with a powerful use of language. These were a great idea to make. Looking forward to the next one.

Jan Green
The combination of words and film works well. Very poignant, a worthwhile tribute to both the arboretum (which I know well) and the fallen ones it commemorates.

Jayne & Matthew Preston
Fantastic - well done you! Can't wait for the next one.

Jan Green
A very moving combination of words with images. I'll definitely return to see the subsequent videopoems.
