Welcome to Almost An Island

Almost an Island is a writing project exploring the Greenwich Peninsula in London through words, sounds and stories.

Writers in residence, Sarah Butler and Aoife Mannix, will be blogging about the project. They will record their own responses to the Peninsula and the people they meet. The blog will be a showcase for new writing Sarah and Aoife create over the course of the project, and for the writing and words of workshop participants.

Sarah and Aoife will be creating a soundscape that will represent the lives and stories of those connected with the Greenwich Peninsula. They are running a series of workshops and activities to support this - check under 'events' for more details.

The soundscape will be presented at a public event in November 2008. Keep an eye on the blog for details

Almost an Island is a collaboration between UrbanWords and Spread the Word, in association with Art on the Greenwich Peninsula. The project is funded by Awards For All.

Future Peninsula

I’m looking for a bus stop. I’m guessing there’s one in 112 plant pots’ time. 112 square pots all the same, lined up like guards. No weeds. Ready to face the invisible army. Ten stone slabs to every marked pavement square. Ten pavement squares to every one minute of looking. No weeds. And how many more pavement squares to the bus-stop? To infinity? Hmmm, things to face in the war for the bus-stop … blinding light off faceless glass building; cloned surroundings, losing the will to live. Where am I?
