01/08/2021THEMED POEMS: THE MANY FORMS OF LOSS
01/10/2022
Carl Crossin and the Adelaide Chamber Singers have been thrilling me with their music for many, many years. Occasionally, I am moved to write something during the concert, or shortly after. The eponymous, ‘Flight,’ is the product of their concert on 20 November, 2021 It was a night where the sound soared and swirled around us and I was moved to write the first draft of a poem, as they were singing. It is impossible to capture in mere words the experience of those voices as they transported us to other times and places and, at the same time, obliterated time and place and just flew straight into our hearts and souls and spoke the beauty and truth we all needed to hear in the midst of a pandemic. I hope you enjoy the poem so much you buy a ticket to their next concert. You won’t regret it.
