This poetic slide show is a positive blend of past and present. The poems are all inspired by the beautiful island of La Palma …….. Before the Spanish colonised it in the 15th Century, the local Benhoarita people lived an isolated stone-aged existence, dwelling in caves and simple stone constructions. This work is an attempt at reconstructing simple elements from the past for people to enjoy today.

This short video-poem was created especially for a fund raising event organised by the Art Collective "Thinking on your Feet", in memory of the Guernsey wartime hero Lt Desmond Mulholland MC and was first presented as part of a concert on the 29th of March 2019 at the Guernsey Underground Hospital.
