The poet William Wordsworth wrote about encounters with people on the move, as he walked English roads and byways 200 years ago. These poems, and those of fellow poet Coleridge, were published as Lyrical Ballads in 1798. Our project is a reply, in poems and song, from people today who are affected by homelessness, or vulnerable. Supported by the Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery Players.
