Cornwall Writers Book Signing at Falmouth Fringe Book Festival
Cornwall Writers Book Signing at Falmouth Fringe Festival 12pm Saturday 22nd October 2022 with the Cornwall Secret and Hidden anthology
Ella Walsworth-Bell and her co-authors have created thirty-two poems exploring the magic and beauty of sea swimming in Cornwall. Whether you dip a toe, or dive right in; stroll the shoreline, or race through the surf; relax on soft sand, or simply consider the sea temperature from afar… immersed in Morvoren, you will find yourself reflected here. The book includes stunning colour photographs and biographical notes on the women who were interviewed.
‘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’. These poems ask, ‘Why wouldn’t you swim?’. Read this anthology, see if it doesn’t have you running for the waves, ‘nipples like limpets’. Brava to one and all.’

‘So, come five o’clock, I pull into the yard with a dozen yellow tulips on my car seat. They are glorious, resplendent, like an armful of sunshine, wrapped up in cellophane and tied with a shiny orange bow. I am inordinately pleased with myself, looking forward to making my entrance. What a great guy I have turned out to be.’
