ARBORETUM ATTRACTION FEATURES TEN WORKS BY POET-IN-RESIDENCE
A NEW poetry trail has been launched at the National Memorial Arboretum ahead of the VJ Day commemorations.
From tomorrow until November 16 (between 10am and 5pm), visitors to the Alrewas-based site can follow the free 'Poetic Reflections' trail, featuring ten poems by Arji Manuelpillai, Poet-in-Residence at the arboretum.
The trail has been put together ahead of the 80th anniversary of VJ (Victory over Japan) Day this Friday.
The series of ten powerful new poems explore incredible stories of bravery, sacrifice and service in the Far East during the Second World War.
Visitors can walk through the Far East zone, listening to Arji's poems while standing alongside the memorials that helped inspire them.
