40 years ago English singer Kate Bush (b. 1958) released 'Wuthering Heights', a song influenced by English author Emily Brontë's (1818-1848) 1847 gothic novel of the same name. Now "Bush will join the poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy, the Scottish makar, or national poet, Jackie Kay and the novelist Jeanette Winterson in a summer project celebrating the Brontë sisters. All four have been commissioned to write a piece of poetry or prose which will then be engraved on stones positioned over the eight-mile route between the sisters’ birthplace and the family parsonage. Winterson will celebrate the Brontë legacy as a whole, Duffy will celebrate Charlotte, Kay has Anne and Bush has Emily." - Mark Brown for The Guardian, 26/04/18.
