Peter Pan inspires new poetry at Midsteeple Thursday 20 May

Come along to The Midsteeple next Thursday 20 May to join in the celebrations for the launch of 'On the Grass Cloud', a new booklet of poems inspired by JM Barrie's most famous creation - Peter Pan.

On the Grass Cloud has been commissioned by The Moat Brae Trust, and proceeds from the sale will go towards the restoration of Moat Brae itself.The poems are written by the pupils and staff of Dumfries Academy, inspired by the theme of Neverland. 

On the Grass Cloud has been edited by well-known poet Hugh McMillan, with contributions from both young and experienced writers, and a special poem donated by multi-award winning Dumfries poet Tom Pow.

We can only agree with Hugh that the creative imagination is alive and well and burgeoning as magically as the garden of Moat Brae once did for the youthful JM Barrie!
