In February 2020 Abbey Road studios welcomed each of the 10 poets to record pieces from their collections. Then lockdown hit. but remotely and with the additional help of field recordists and musicians around the world, Cerys and Joe Acheson (Hidden Orchestra) created a sound journey for these poems with the theme of: genesis: birth, heritage, a journey about to begin.
