Abstract
In this paper I will be presenting research from my practice-led PhD in Creative Writing. I am writing a collection of poetry about Richard III; his wife Anne Neville, Duchess of Gloucester; his mother Cecily Neville, Duchess of York; and the Princes in the Tower. My research involves reading academic history texts; also responding to art, portraits and stained-glass representations of my characters (ekphrasis). Walking in landscapes known to my characters has influenced my work (psychogeography). These factors combine to allow me to access the small, intimate moments of history. The absent, the unseen, the forgotten: these are my themes.
