Cornwall is steeped in poetry, legend and storytelling. Join Luke
Thompson on a literary tour around its dramatic coastline, its
cliffs and coves, across the moor and down the mines. Meet Cornish
poets such as Jack Clemo and Charles Causley, enjoy retellings of
thrilling legends and stirring songs and read inspiring fiction and
non-fiction from famous Cornish writers and residents including
Daphne du Maurier, Thomas Hardy, Winston Graham and D. H. Lawrence.
What each and every one has in common is a deep-rooted connection
to a county defined by its awe-inspiring and varied landscape, its
folklore and its fiercely independent people. Treasures of
Cornwall: A Literary Anthology is edited by Luke Thompson.

Singing About Melon opens with a call for silence: 'Silenzio'. This
is the self-defeating shout of the guards in the Basilica of St
Francis in Assisi, where several of the poems are placed. It is a
call that echoes through Luke Thompson's first collection, playing
with sense and nonsense, the sayable and the unsayable, as well as
the saying that un-says. Eels, anchorites, parrots, invertebrates,
a ventriloquist's dummy and a mechanical squirrel are all deployed
in this exploration of sense and silence through themes of bodily
identity, grief, the divine and other species. "A rare book - both
strange and exhilarating; poems which bore and drill into the
reader's mind much like the earthworms, eels and other tiny guests
vibrating on the pages." --Mona Arshi. "Skilfully precise and
playfully mischievous, these poems embrace the spiritual, the
cartoonish and everything in between with a mindful sensibility."
--Isabel Galleymore

heart, soul, and strength and loving your neighbor as yourself.
Jesus told His disciples to love each other as He loved them. So

growth based on the commands of Jesus
