I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Poetry Cornwall the
magazine run by Les Merton.
I was a guest-poet in issue 1 or 2, I forget which,
but haven't since an issue for some time. I let Eric
Ratcliffe review one issue and Les accussed him of
making a racist remark. For the life of me I couldn't
see how Eric's remarks were in anyway racist and Les
obviously thought it was self evident and never gave
any explanation.
It is still going though and very well supported it
seems. Last September they held an event the
Poetry Cornwall Festival -
Chacewater Village Hall - Near Truro
Amongst those appearing were DM Thomas, Penelope
Shuttle and Caroline Carver with all star local
support that included, Bert Biscoe, Pol Hodge,
Will Coleman, Liz Rowe, and Cornish singing duo Keith
& Clarinda Truscott.
Net proceeds went
to the Cornish Constitutional Convention to support
the Campaign for a Cornish Assembly.
so there's certainly SOMETHING going on down there.
