We invited Bristol based poet Rebecca Tantony to share her poetry at our event Powering Change in the Tobacco Factory Theatre back in February 2016. One of the poems was created on the day in response to the event. We hope you enjoy these wonderful verses and words of inspiration showing Rebecca's unique insights on sustainability and environmental concerns. You can read her poem The Body is Forgiving at this link: http://www.juliesbicycle.com/latest/blog/9777-jb-year-in-poetry/ Rebecca will be performing at sustainable and clean energy driven Shambala Festival on Friday 26th August 2016 at 6pm.
