A strange day at the Penzance Lit Fest

 

Retreat everywhere! Practical June

Will look at blackouts.

Learn from the opportunity-

You will make material poems

Regularly and utterly fascinating.

 

Under deep metal with Philip

Discover magical humans

Trace the dazzling and dark consequences

In various homeland hotspots as did

Parson, Goethe, Blake and Marie Curie

 

Cornish ghost landscapes erupt at Falmouth-

Talk about inspiration!

Convince Cornish writers to paint!

Short ghosts here costing £6

 

Penzance legends at the Pixel

Linda has books and local visitors and time lords,

Including Sir Humphry Davy

Pirates and St Anthony.

 

Unlock the power of the unconscious

With Jenny.

Write a regular modern mass app

Experience and chance a random walk non-fiction encounter.

Cornwall’s local elections 2025

Which political party seeking our vote in tomorrow’s local elections is the most ‘Cornish’? Putting policies aside, most of which are merely variants of ‘build more’, which has the greatest proportion of Cornish candidates?
