Arts Passing: A poetic response to Stories in the Dark

Arts Passing

It is with great sadness that we mark, the passing of Stories in the Dark

No more bulbs blown, no more visitors thrown

But let us not forget, that it was art, and in the cultural education of Canterbury it thus played its part

Click clock, dull thwack, Discombobulation, nuclear installation

What is it? what do I see?

Tell me what to think – tell me how to be

Art is dead – long live art

-W. Godwin

William Godwin is a Visitor Service Officer at The Beaney
