Sad farewell, but joyful occasion

Members of InPrint gathered in Norwich on October 8 to say
goodbye to one of their number. Poet Lisa D'Onofrio was not
only a founder member of InPrint, but put together the original
group of artists and poets in 2003 from whom InPrint emerged. After
putting together a collaborative exhibition that toured Norfolk
that year under the sponsorship of Creative Arts East, we decided
this was too good a thing to abandon and stayed together, with a
few changes. Lisa was heavily involved, especially with her
"baby", the Poetry Vending Machine, which attracted a lot
of interest in the county and further afield. She was also deeply
involved with the group's most recent project, centred on the
Paston Letters.
Present at the farewell party for Lisa, who returns to her native
Australia towards the end of November, were fellow InPrint
founder-members Annette Rolston and Rupert Mallin, plus current
members Caroline Gilfillan and Mike Fenton. The part was hosted by
InPrint poet Tim Lenton and his wife Dot. Lisa's children
Dashiel and Blossom also took part.

InPrint poet Lisa D'Onofrio, who inspired and helped to
create the ground-breaking Poetry Vending Machine, is returning to
her native Australia next month. She is a founder-member of the
group and one of the prime movers in our various activities. She
will leave a big gap, not only as a brilliantly imaginative poet,
but also as a good friend.
The group is having a get-together in the early part of October to
celebrate Lisa's time with us and to say goodbye to her, her
husband Errol and children Dash and Blossom.
Meanwhile
Lucy Care, organiser of the Paston
Project, with which InPrint has been involved for well over a year,
has an exhibition at the Griffon Gallery in North Walsham, Norfolk,
this October. It runs until the gallery puts on a version of the
Paston Exhibition starting on October 30.
