Jack Clemo Centenary

 
 
 

Bodmin Moor Poetry Festival is delighted to be taking a lead in celebrating the centenary of Jack Clemo – the great Cornish ‘Poet of the Clays’.  Working with Luke Thompson, the foremost authority on Clemo’s life and work, and with much appreciated support from FEAST, they are organising a series of events and projects throughout 2016.  Foremost is the commissioning of singer-songwriter Jim Causley to set a series of Clemo’s poems to music.  A CD of these will be launched, along with Luke’s biography of Clemo, at the Bodmin Moor Poetry Festival on 29 May.   Brannel School in St. Stephen, are also a partner in the project. .
