SUMMARY:Write your own sea-themed poems | A writing workshop for 9-12 year olds
DESCRIPTION:Mordros is Cornish for ‘sound of the sea’. It’s also a community poetry project facilitated by the Mor Poets which aims to foster the enjoyment and writing of poetry in people of all ages across Cornwall. \nIn June\, we will be coming to The Morrab Library for two sea-inspired poetry workshops. In these workshops\, aimed at children aged 9 – 12\, we will bring the ocean to life using prompts to create sea-themed poems. \nWe will use: \n❖ sea sounds and images \n❖ physical sea-themed prompts eg. shells\, rocks and driftwood \n❖ story-telling and live poetry performance \n❖ easy to use poetry templates \nLet’s hear the sea\, think it\, feel it\, touch it\, and even smell it. Let’s imagine ourselves in the sea or under it\, and\, perhaps skimming its surface like a seagull or a surfer. Let’s use our own words to share joyful experiences and memories of the ocean through poetry. \nA selection of poems from all of the workshops will be put together to create a unique Mordros poetry book\, available to participants and the public later in the year. \nMordros is brought to you by Mor Poets\, an all-women shoal of poets from Cornwall: Meg Chapman\, Kate Barden\, Abigail Ottley\, Hannah Temme\, Ulrike Duran\, Kerry Vincent\, Fi Read\, Ella Walsworth-Bell\, Christiana Robertson\, Lauren Gauge. Mor Poets previously created two books of poetry about sea swimming and surfing – Morvoren and Mordardh. \nMordros is supported by FEAST funding and each workshop runs for 1.5 hours. \nBook a free place via Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mordros-sea-poetry-writing-workshop-for-9-12-year-olds-tickets-900535625297?aff=oddtdtcreator

SUMMARY:Library Talks | Sea Sound: Poetry
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday 5th June at 2pm an “uprising of women poets” will be performing poetry inspired by Cornwall and the sea in the Reading Room at The Morrab Library. The afternoon will  an invitation to “dip your toes into the big blue” and hear their rhythmic words” and\, in Morag Smith’s\, words “Feel a drumbeat maybe a heart maybe a fist it comes from the core”.  \nElla Walsworth-Bell will introduce the poems with a description of the projects that she set up to find out more about women’s sea swimming and surfing. Ella arrived in Cornwall in the seventies on a sailing boat with her family after crossing the Atlantic. Salt-drenched\, she’s written about the ocean ever since. Her poetry has been published in Morphrog\, Magic Circle\, Public Sector Poetry and the Leon Literary Review. She’s appeared on BBC Spotlight sharing her poetry on a clifftop and she came second in the Perito Prize short story competition in 2022. Her day job is working as a children’s speech therapist for the NHS and she swims as often as she can. She leads Mor Poets and has published two poetry anthologies: Morvoren and Mordardh\, with support from Arts Council England. \nThe afternoon will feature poetry performances from a group of poets\, including: \nKate Barden has lived in West Cornwall all her life\, and is embarrassed to confess that she has only tried surfing twice. Her poetry is published online\, in a book for The Compassionate Friends\, and as part of Morvoren; a collaboration of poems about women who swim in the sea. She has co-written\, directed and acted in various pieces of theatre with local companies\, taking one piece to the Edinburgh Fringe. Kate has played at The Minack Theatre\, Penlee Park and The Acorn. She also took part in Henry VI with the Hall for Cornwall and the RSC\, and enjoys writing\, performing and watching spoken word. Kate occasionally sings in an 80s cover band\, collects tattoos\, swims in the sea and rides pillion on a Harley. Since starting Mordardh\, she has decided to give surfing a proper go\, dreckly. \nHannah Temme is a spoken-word performer\, dancer and producer\, based in Newquay. She works to create community spaces for the development of local poets and the platforming of professional artists\, helping to cultivate an artistic scene on the North Cornish coast. Living in the surf capital of the UK\, and a surfer herself\, Hannah has used Mordardh to explore how surfing is integrated into everyday life in Newquay; to some it is as necessary as breathing. \nFi Read grew up in Australia\, but she caught her first wave in Cornwall. As a surf-taxi mum\, she figured she might as well join in\, so she bought herself a secondhand surfboard for her fortieth birthday. Seventeen years later\, despite three of her four kids being surf instructors\, she still surfs like a kook. Fi works as a nurse\, bar staff\, life model\, singer and writer\, cycles everywhere\, and can back-flip into water. \nKerry Vincent is a mother of nine from Constantine\, a small village between Helston and Falmouth. She has written rhyming\, rhythmic verse since childhood\, but her real love is performing spoken word. She has written a pantomime\, plays\, and had a collection of poetry published in 2009\, as well as contributing to anthologies \nTickets for our Library Talks are allocated by a ballot system. Please email enquiries@morrablibrary.org.uk or call 01736 364474 to be entered into the ballot for a ticket. The ballot closes on Monday 27th May. \nEntry to this event is free but donations are welcomed to help support The Morrab Library (suggested £5). Refreshments will be provided after the talk.

SUMMARY:A Magical Mystery Tour of the English miniature from the Tudors to The Victorians | with Mark Cottle
DESCRIPTION:Our next talk at The Morrab Library will be from Mark Cottle who will be returning to the Reading Room on Wednesday 3rd April at 2pm. His talk will be “A Magical Mystery Tour” of the English miniature from the Tudors to The Victorians. \nFrom Holbein to the arrival of photography\, the English have always kept a special place in their affections for the miniature. No other country has supported such an unbroken succession of miniature painting for so long. More closely bound up with people’s lives than any other art form\, these portraits provide\, in Sir Roy Strong’s happy image\, a keyhole into the lives of Tudors\, Stuarts\, Georgians and Victorians. \nThe aim of Mark Cottle’s lecture is to provide a tour through three centuries of wonderful portraiture and the changing ages they represent: a tapestry of English history seen through the eyes of its miniaturists. \nTickets are allocated by a ballot system. Please email enquiries@morrablibrary.org.uk or call 01736 364474 to be entered into the ballot for a ticket. The ballot closes on Monday 25th March. Entry to this event is free but donations are welcomed to help support The Morrab Library (suggested £5). Refreshments will be provided after the talk.
