About this event

Red River: Listening to a Polluted River.

Drop into Kresen Kernow and join poet John Wedgewood Clarke who will introduce the Red River project and share some of the research that went into the making of his long poem Red River: A River in Pieces. The session will include discussion and an opportunity to write about the Red River and our attitude towards rivers. It will end with a short reading from Red River.

Dr John Wedgwood Clarke is senior lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Exeter and director of the AHRC-funded project Red River: Listening to a Polluted River. He recently researched and presented the BBC4 documentary Cornwall’s Red River.

This event is part of the Habitats as Heritage residency at Kresen Kernow.

Please note: there are currently no refreshments available at Kresen Kernow, but you’re welcome to bring your own.
