Poems like postcards from the holiday you’re longing for...
Aegina Island is just a short distance from Athens but it’s a whole other magical world. In 2020, Yorkshire artist and writer Fiona Weir found herself there when the Coronavirus pandemic cut it off. Locked down, she began writing and illustrating these soulful, evocative poems about the people and the place. Read them and fall in love with Aegina too...
This 2020 collection of poems and line drawings was kindly supported by a small grant from The Arts Council England Coronavirus Emergency Fund.
