Frome Lit Fest: Swamp Songs: A Journey Through Marsh and Meadow with Tom Blass
Date: Friday 23rd September
Time: 7.30 – 8.30pm
Venue: The Merlin Theatre
Ticket Price: £10
Oozing with bad airs, boggarts and other spirits, the world’s marshes and swamps are often seen as sinister and only partly of this earth. Author of Swamp Songs, Tom Blass invites you on a swampish journey from Romney Marsh to North Carolina, Lapland to the Danube Delta. Introducing you to their myths and hidden histories, this event promises to be a feast for the imagination and you will never think of wetland in the same way again.
Tom will be in conversation with Frome’s own Andrew Ziminski, author of The Stonemason: A History of Building Britain.
