A new poem inspired by Thomas Chatterton

A new poem by Rebecca Tantony


During autumn 2020, as part of the A Poetic City project to commemorate 250 years since the death of Thomas Chatterton, award winning poet Rebecca Tantony undertook a week's residency in the Chatterton Room at St Mary Redcliffe to produce and new poem inspired by the spirit of Chatterton and the atmosphere of the church.


You can watch a video of Rebecca reading her poem, Thomas, and read the text of the poem here.


We'd like to thank Rebecca for taking part in the project and congratulate her on producing

a fine poem.
