SUMMARY:Winter Warmer Poetry Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Join poets Katrina Naomi and Fiona Benson and develop your poetry at our second residential weekend at the beautiful Trevadlock Manor in the heart of the Cornish countryside near Launceston. \n \nJoin Katrina & Fiona for a nurturing writing weekend in beautiful east Cornwall\, to warm you through the last dregs of winter and inspire you for the coming months of spring. Workshop sessions will focus on equipping you with tools to nourish\, motivate and inspire your inner writer. You will engage in creative play\, use both personal and more general research\, adopt new poetic techniques to refresh your poetry\, take meditative group walks and find ways to flip your creative switch to ‘on’. You will also think about author self-care – how to stay grounded in the face of social media and all the other aggravations of a writer’s world. \nYou will write poems of endurance\, exploring winter rituals and the myths of returning spring; and poems of resilience\, finding how to use our voice in the face of inequality and political transgression. You will also have the opportunity to discuss your work one on one with both Fiona and Katrina. Participating poets will be asked to bring a favourite poem of endurance/survival. \nResidential packages start at £550 and day attendance packages are £300. For full details see our dedicated website page. \nEmail info@causleytrust.org for all enquiries.

SUMMARY:North Cornwall Book Festival Author Tours: Clare Chambers on Small Pleasures
DESCRIPTION:Clare Chambers’ haunting yet funny novel Small Pleasures was a word of mouth fiction hit in 2020 before making the Woman’s Prize longlist. Set in a manicured 1950s south London suburb\, not far from where Clare and her husband raised their family\, it’s the tale of a woman who claims to have had a virgin birth\, and of Jean Swinney\, the local journalist who becomes obsessed by her story. Described by the Evening Standard as “gripping\, tender and perfectly formed” it saw Clare likened to Austen\, Pym and Larkin and was unsurprisingly raced through multiple reprints in hardback. \n\n\n\n\nJean\, the protagonist\, is “living quite a limited life. She’s a working woman\, but it’s a job rather than a career\, and she’s a bit of a dogsbody\,” Clare says. In between filing women’s interest stories (housekeeping tips\, mainly)\, she’s trapped caring for her belligerent\, ageing mother. Every evening she has half an hour to herself to luxuriate in her favourite small pleasure: smoking two cigarettes by herself in the living room. The novel’s real theme\, Clare says\, is confinement. “It’s about that clash between duty and individual freedom – how much self-denial is an acceptable load for any person to bear?” \nClare will be in conversation with novelist Sophie Pierce.

SUMMARY:North Cornwall Book Festival Author Tours: Seán Hewitt on All Down Darkness Wide
DESCRIPTION:Seán Hewitt was born in 1990. He lectures in English literature at Trinity College Dublin and is a Book Critic for The Irish Times. He won a Northern Writers’ Award in 2016\, the Resurgence Prize in 2017\, and an Eric Gregory Award in 2019. Tongues of Fire is his truly astonishing debut collection of poetry.  In a formal departure for him\, however thematically linked to the themes in his poems\,  All Down Darkness Wide is a prose memoir. When Seán meets Elias\, the two fall headlong into a love story\, but as Elias struggles with severe depression\, the couple comes face-to-face with crisis. Wrestling with this\, Seán Hewitt delves deep into his own history\, enlisting the ghosts of queer figures and poets before him. From a nineteenth-century cemetery in Liverpool to the pine forests of Gothenburg\, he plumbs the darkness in search of solace and hope. All Down Darkness Wide is an unflinching meditation on the burden of living in a world that too often sets happiness and queer life at odds\, and a tender portrayal of what it’s like to be caught in the undertow of a loved one’s suffering. By turns devastating and soaring\, it is a mesmerising story of heartache and renewal\, and a work of rare and transcendent beauty. Seán will be in conversation with author Sophie Pierce. \nThis event will take place at The Eagle House Hotel in Launceston and tickets will cost £8. Accompanied under 16s free.

SUMMARY:North Cornwall Book Festival Author Tours: Rachel Joyce on Miss Benson’s Beetle
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Joyce swept to household name status with the runaway success of her debut novel The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and its sister novel\, The Love Song of Queenie Hennessy.  Her latest\, Miss Benson’s Beetle\, transported thousands during the early months of lockdown with the tropical voyage of its unlikely heroine\, an unregarded schoolmistress\, as she reconnects with her childhood passion for entomology. It won Rachel the Wilbur Smith Prize for Adventure Writing and secured her reputation for being able to raise laughter and tears in a single paragraph. She’ll be in conversation with novelist and memoirist Cathy Rentzenbrink and has promised to give us a sneak preview of the third instalment of her Harold novels\, in which she finally gives the side of his misunderstood wife\, Maureen. \nThis event will take place at The Eagle House Hotel in Launceston and tickets will cost £8. Accompanied under 16s free. \n  \nImage: Pal Hansen
