Mor Sea Poetry
Helston Old Chapel
7.30pm 23rd October 2024
by Mor Poets presented by Trevow Helston
Get ready to dive into the mesmerizing world of surf and sea poetry!
Join us for a spoken word performance filled with captivating words, rhythmic beats, and the spirit of the ocean.
Mor Sea Poetry is an “uprising of women poets” and an invitation to dip your toes into the big blue. Ella Walsworth-Bell and a shoal of mer-poets spoke to sea swimmers and surfers from across Cornwall, putting together books of poetry (Morvoren and Mordardh).
“I recognise so much of my own sea swimming in these stunning, anarchic, joyful poems. Here are other women who also delight in cold water, of being ‘burned alive from the ankles up.”
They’ll share poetry on stage, accompanied by a series of photographic images from both on and under the ocean.
