Barry's film poem is so powerful - I always enjoy his poems so I knew the words would resonate but the addition of the well crafted soundtrack and pertinent images that complement the words really bring added layers to this piece. Also, a shout out for the photography styles chosen as well, the movement between colour and b&w, sharp focus and abstraction, all enhancing the overall experience. Very well done indeed!

This was just what I needed at the end of a busy week. The images work so well with the words, so grounding and beautiful, I particularly loved the slight laughter, the birdsong of people welcoming back the sun.
