Winston's poetry invention puts the spoke in word
Poet and dedicated cyclist Winston Plowes has invented a “poetry generating” bicycle – and is planning to take it to Glastonbury. Winston, who is the Pop-up Poet at the forthcoming Hebden Bridge arts festival, is pictured demonstrating the contraption, which selects random, cycling-related words on its wheels by applying the brakes, earlier this month in Hebden Bridge. Winston, an advocate of “found” poetry, will be pedalling his poetry outside the Poetry and Words tent at Glastonbury festival for one hour on every day of the festival, (times TBA).
