Time and Tide: Stories and Poems from the Solstice Shorts Festival 2019
An anthology of the stories and poems chosen for performance at the Solstice Shorts Festival 2019, in Greenwich, Maryport, Hastings, Peterhead, Clydebank, Holyhead and Lisbon. How do tides affect our lives? How has that changed through history? Making a living on or by the sea – fishermen and pirates, wreckers and dockers – making a new life across the sea – escaping pogroms and wars, the shipwrecked and the endlessly travelling – to paddlers and wild swimmers.
