Writing and Place: Cornwall

As the ±«Óãtv Proms broadcast a concert from Truro, Joan Passey talks to two writers based in Cornwall, Wyl Menmuir and Natasha Carthew, about how the county shapes their writing.

The coastline of Cornwall and its communities are the subject of a non fiction book called The Draw of the Sea by Wyl Menmuir. He joins writer Natasha Carthew in a conversation about the importance of place hosted by Joan Passey, who is a ±«Óãtv/AHRC New Generation Thinker and author of Cornish Gothic 1830-1913. Wyl Menmuir's novels include The Many and Fox Fires. Natasha Carthew is a poet and author of a memoir called Undercurrent: A Cornish Memoir of Poverty, Nature and Resilience
