*Murder of Krows is an anthology of poetry by published and previously unpublished Cornish poets. The first volume was launched at the Melting Pot Café at Redruth in March 2013 and proved to be a great success, selling out its print run and attracting guest readings from Dr Alan M Kent and Les Merton. If you would like to get a feel for the content and style of the first anthology, a PDF of it is available by e-mailing lallocropia@gmail.com. There are also a very limited number of copies left at the price of £2.00 inc. P+P – again please e-mail lallocropia(thesign)gmail.com if you wish to purchase one.

 

It is envisaged that there will be a similar launch evening for Murder of Krows 2 at which contributors will be invited to read. This is a not-for-profit venture and there is a need to keep costs as low as possible. However, all contributors will receive one free copy of the anthology.
