The L word
Jul. 19th, 2008 08:20 pmThe first Durham Literature Festival was held in 1989, but I don't think I knew anything about it. I do remember going to some events at the 2000 Festival, but it was in 2001 that we really started to become involved. We were looking through the brochure, and wondering whether we wanted to take out season tickets, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
durham_rambler realised that we would get a better deal if we signed up for a business membership, instead of two individual memberships. The Festival organiser suggested that we go one better, and put a similar sum of money into becoming a sponsor of the festival, instead. And that's how it started...
( And this is what happened next... )
So I've spent much of today transferring the commissioned work onto Cornwell Internet's own web site, which is where you should now go if you want to read Big Frocks (a poem by Valerie Laws with accompanying picture show), Absent Friends by Chaz Brenchley (a hyperfiction bydesperance with added recipes) or Gail-Nina Anderson's sonnet sequence plus, Memory Problems - or download the Festival's very own bookplate, designed for us by superstar Bryan Talbot.
