Gathering Momentum

David Hide celebrates the latest endorsement for the project.

We are delighted to receive an endorsement from Michael Rosen, the poet, writer and former children’s laureate, for our plan to deliver a lasting memorial in Horsham to the poet Shelley.

Speaking after being contacted by the Shelley Memorial Project committee in March, Rosen gave his full backing to the project, saying,

“Shelley is one of our greatest writers and I support 100% the idea that he should have a memorial to him close to his place of birth.”

It is really great to have received these words of support from such a major literary figure, and a measure of the way that the project is beginning to gather momentum.
