In this collection, the Mor Poets capture the draw of the ocean through the words of those who ride its waves. Seeking to understand what surfing truly means, these poems speak of universal hopes and fears, dreams and contradictions, all found in the transformative act of catching a wave.

From the creators of Morvoren and Mordardh comes this new poetry anthology, capturing the enthralling nature of the sea. Some of Cornwall’s children and their equally creative parents joined poets to explore happy memories of days at the beach. Cornwall’s dramatic coastline, thrust headlong into the ocean, means you are never far from the water. What songs does the ocean sing? What secrets are whispered by the waves? What mysterious creatures swim beneath its glittering surface?

Something is coming, it's hiding in the dark. In shadows, it is stalking, ready to stop your heart. This poetry collection will take you deep into the depths of hell, Through lava filled pits.

A contrasting collection of light and dark, love and heartache, loss and gain, peace and war, hope and despair. Don't fear the darkness, there are always the guiding words of the poetic outlaw to shine a light and find us. Even when shadows are closing, and imposing thoughts are chasing. We find a safe space, to keep fear at bay until the brightness of a new day.

Ella Walsworth-Bell and her co-authors have created thirty-two poems exploring the magic and beauty of sea swimming in Cornwall. Whether you dip a toe, or dive right in; stroll the shoreline, or race through the surf; relax on soft sand, or simply consider the sea temperature from afar… immersed in Morvoren, you will find yourself reflected here.

This debut collection of poems, composed with no thought to commercial publication and discovered by Green Writers Press by happenstance, addresses events in the poet's life that every listener can relate to—friendships, the beginning, middle, and end of romantic relationships, and the death of a loved one. And they do so with “stiletto-sharp” metaphors—“rosebuds stillborn in the falling snow”—and wry observations —“Trying Again: Like an old shoe comfortable for a while but still causing blisters”—that evoke from the listener a knowing nod and sometimes an outright laugh.
