The beauty of blossom is undeniable and now the magic of that ethereal season is being put to words and music in an unusual way by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage and his band LYR.
The five-track Blossomise EP is the result of a year-long collaboration between the band and the National Trust, as part of the charity’s annual Blossom campaign, and is being launched today, World Poetry Day. A book of the same name, featuring a series of poems and haikus written by the Huddersfield-born poet inspired by the blossom season, as well as the lyrics to the five songs, is also released today by Faber.
