Downloadable PDF: The Ballad Of Stokes Croft
After finishing The Floating Harbour, I apparently wasn’t (and might never be) done with Bristol as a setting, theme, ‘n character. But I did end up moving away from the harbourside, across the centre, to a counter-cultural, developing, fascinating area called Stokes Croft.
Though I still wrote a lot of it on the harbourside…
I ended up conceiving, developing, and writing it in the space of one notebook and about six or seven weeks. It is a song of poems – different parts in different verse throughout a night exchanging stories.
Go read the sev’ral tales before the sunrise…
