Ten Poems about Clouds
Published on Monday 10 July 2017
Who hasn’t looked up at the sky and seen a whale or a poodle or a sports car? The shape-shifting nature of clouds means they never fail to entertain and intrigue us. This fascinating selection of poems explores the many different ways in which we experience clouds – whether simply as weather or as a more abstract reflection of an emotion or a state of mind.
The pamphlet features the two winning poems from our competition run in association with The Cloud Appreciation Society and a brand new cloud poem from the Society’s Poet in Residence Katharine Towers.
Here in the British Isles we get our fair share – whether it’s the dumpy little cumulus of a hot day in high summer or the spirit-dampening stratus of a wet November weekend. Although we see clouds every day, it’s impossible to pin them down and this rich and varied selection reflects that beguiling elusiveness.

"By the way I have become almost Evangelical about the pamphlets! Everyone I know has got one. I’m just stopping short of thrusting them on people I don’t know but who look as if they need a poetry break."Liz O’Sullivan, Dovegreyreader Chapter, Candlestick Collective
