Bob Hill at the TRAIL festival in Teignbridge

Trailing Poetry

Bob Hill will organise the longest Renga sequence of collaborative poetry ever produced at a recycling arts festival in Teignbridge (probably).

(And, following the festival, the collaborative poetry will be published on the Creative Torbay website (www.creativetorbay.com/harbertonbob.)

telling tales: the persistence of memory (or what happens when Blue Peter meets Dada…)

Bob is seeking the stories, poems, illustrations, photographs, fragments, artefacts, et cetera for this 'telling tales' event. All contributions will be collected, stored and - without being read - buried in Teignmouth at the close of the festival.
