Fortress of Solitude

I recently worked with Louise Manifold on her beautiful short film, ‘Fortress of Solitude.’ I read an extract from my specially commissioned poem, ‘The Hero No One Believed In,’ over the action. Part of the Two Suitcases Project, ‘Fortress of Solitude’ was inspired by the artists’ superhero film collaboration (Planet of the Capes) with members of CanTeen Ireland, the national young people’s cancer support group.
