Peter Martin’s poetry, in the main, features an area of the South Downs and coastline within ten or so miles of Seaford. When his childhood passion for natural history was rekindled in the 1960s, Peter started writing poetry fitfully, much influenced by the writing of John Clare, Richard Jefferies and Henry Williamson. However it was not until the 1980s when he moved to live in the wooded hills of Surrey that he started to write more regularly and his first collection of poems, ‘Seasons Regained’ was published in 2005. However, in 2006 when he and his wife moved to Seaford, with the inspirational social and natural history of the South Downs on his doorstep, writing poetry became a major preoccupation, resulting in the publication of ‘Ghost Music’ (2010), Kindred Spaces (2013), Story Lines (2016), Flight Feathers (2019) and The View From Here (2023). He has performed his poetry solo, but also, with the folk musicians Joy Lewis and Derrick Hughes and also with Classical musicians including The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, Dame Felicity Lott and Maeve Jenkinson and also with the Corelli Ensemble, including providing four poems to form the ‘programme’ for two newly commissioned pieces of music, most recently for a violin concerto with its premier in March 2025. PRIOR TO THE PERFORMANCE, WE ARE HAPPY TO WELCOME THE MAYOR OF SEAFORD, COUNCILLOR SALLY MARKHAM, WHO WILL FORMALLY OPEN LITFEST25. Please note that wine and hot and cold beverages will be available and are included in the ticket price.
