An old Apothecarian, Jonah Corren (yes, you’ve guessed it, daughter of the delightfully barmy songstress Jane Silver-Corren) is running a whole poetry festival!! In Plymouth!! It’s called Sound and is running for 10 days 10th -19th April. We are all very impressed. Please spread the word…… (and attend if you can 😁)
