Our theme for Telltales in June is “Hevva! Hevva!”

The Cornish phrase is the cry once heard from the cliffs when a shoal of pilchards was sighted, calling the fisherfolk to their boats.

For this theme we would be delighted to receive your written contributions on collaboration, harvest or abundance; on Cornish language and/or history; on folklore and traditions; on work in its many forms; on food and nourishment of the body, mind and soul.

We look forward to your creative input, whether in poetry, prose, short story or an excerpt from a longer work. Please think in terms of a maximum of 10 minutes of reading or around 1500 words.

Telltales will take place at Falmouth Art Gallery on Tuesday 28 June 2022, starting at 6pm.

If you would like to read, please submit your work by Saturday 25 June to
info@telltales.org.uk

Thank you!
