Poems from pictures is a joint effort! My friend Stephen Kingsnorth has trawled through this website and written poems about twelve of the images. In each case Stephen selected the images that “moved” him to composition.
Stephen Kingsnorth (Cambridge M.A., English & Religious Studies), retired to Wales from ministry in the Methodist Church, has had over 180 pieces published by on-line poetry sites, printed journals and anthologies. Stephan has his own website, which you can link to by clicking here
The pages that follow each have:
- An image from somewhere else on the Compass website, selected by Stephen
- Stephen’s poem below the image
- A few comments from me on the selected image from the photographer’s point of view
The pages where you will find Stephen’s poems from pictures are listed by poem title below, click on each link to go to the page. On each page there is also a link to return to this page.
- Turning the World
- Beneath the surface
- Rocks of Ages
- Whether Forecast
- Fissure
- Sand Castles
- Strip search

- Weeping
- Corn Quake

We hope that you enjoy both the poems and the pictures on this part of the Compass Photography website
