Visions for charity

Poetic Vision is an exhibition and sale of unique original work by poets, novelists and photographers in aid of Barnado's. The charity, which works with about 22,000 children a year, has been given prints by Lord Lichfield, Cindy Palmano and Jilli an Edelstein (Colin Jackson and Linford Christie, above); also included is Eve Arnold's photograph of Chinese children in Peking, taken in 1979. Handwritten poems or stories by AS Byatt, Simon Armitage and Carol Ann Duffy (right, from `Penguin Selected P oems'), among many others, have also been donated. Writer Ruth Fainlight helped to organise the event: "Artists and children see with equal freshness, which is why I and so many other poets, writers and photographers are glad to contribute to this worthw hileproject.''
