I am the member of a number of writing communities. One of these is a closed facebook group called, The 30/30 Poetry Challenge. The idea is that each time there is a thirty-day month any of us could enter the 30/30 poetry challenge where seven poets commit to creating writing prompts for a particular day of the week and the other poets have to respond to these prompts each day. Our objective is to write and post a first draft poem every day for thirty days.

I sat down to write the first poem obsessing about absence and presence within the theatre and as a concept. I knew that I wanted to evoke a devotional tone in a poem with a wide sweep that swells to some sort of crescendo. But apart from that I had no idea where to start?

I am no longer in Stratford upon Avon. I am sitting at my desk in my office looking at: all the flip chart paper stuck around my walls with people's personal memories of the RSC, a notebook full of post-it notes and personal letters with people's RSC desert island disks or listening to the recorded interviews, looking at video footage and photos of different areas of the building. All of this is quite cool.
