A new version of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Lyrical Ballads, reimagined by people who have experienced homelessness, is to go on display alongside the original.

A leather-bound copy of Refuge from the Ravens: New Lyrical Ballads for the 21st Century, will be presented this afternoon to the archive at Wordsworth Grasmere, a visitor attraction run by the Wordsworth Trust in the poet’s former home of Grasmere in the Lake District, by some of those who contributed to the book.
