Penned in the Margins 2020 Programme

2020 PROGRAMME


'A marvellously exciting venture, bringing together the worlds of experimentalism and performance, always looking for new ways to present the spoken and written word' Ian McMillan


Welcome “I've felt it: statues carved with electric breath” abi palmer, sanatorium

it's been a rollercoaster twelve months at Penned in the Margins, with our books winning and being shortlisted for accolades including the Ted Hughes Award, the TS Eliot Prize, the Costa Poetry Prize, the Rathbones Folio Award and the Sunday Times/University of Warwick Young Writer of the Year Award. But for me it has been inspiring simply to work with such passionate and skilled writers on books which feel crucial, which have an important place in the world they are entering, which are personal, political and individually beautiful. This year we continue our mission to produce innovative and thought-provoking work — from Abi Palmer’s fragmented memoir, Sanatorium, to the eviscerating poetics of Inua Ellams' The Actual. Our authors do not hold back in their interrogation of challenging subject matter, whether that's disability, the queer body, Islam and spiritual redemption, ocean plastics, Brexit, family and loss, or racial injustice. Last spring we launched Edgelandia, a laboratory for artists to test out ideas about landscape and the topographical fringe. This year's commissions include a short film set in Blackpool and collaborative walking performances in Yorkshire and the North West. I hope the following pages fill you with as much joyful anticipation as I have felt watching all these projects come together. If you feel inspired to contact us please do: find us on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.

A few words with rebecca tamás What motivated you to write WITCH? I wanted to see if I could write about the silence of female history, the thousands of years in which women have had little to no record or chance to tell their own stories. There was no way to interact with that void directly, so the figure of the witch—hyper 'female' in her sexuality, appetites and emotion, disobedient, shape-shifting, boundary breaking— allowed me to question that space, cut holes in it.

How have people responded to your book? I've especially had positive reactions from young women and non-binary people. I've met great people from the magical community—witches and a couple of druids—who said that the book meant a lot to them.

You tweeted a video of a bonfire with the caption 'We took everything we wanted to leave behind, and burnt it in the old year's fire.' What's one thing you want to leave behind from last year and one thing you want to bring forward? I would like to leave behind the paralysis that can come from feeling horrified by the political situation, leaving us more free and energised to make necessary change. I'd like to bring forward a new way of looking at the nonhuman world, as a strange equal with its own right to live and thrive. § WITCH was published in March 2019 and was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.

Edgelandia Disappearing coastlines, alternative histories and a surrealist take on a seaside town feature in three brand new works commissioned for Edgelandia's 2020 programme. MARTHA PAILING Seagulls Don’t Like Me is a short film exploring Blackpool’s coastline and those who walk it; not just a love letter to the town, but a surrealist look at the wondrous honesty of a place that keeps adapting. HELEN GOODWIN Helen Goodwin is mapping the beaches of Skipsea, Yorkshire, where homes, wooden chalets and railway cottages have been lost to the sea on one of the fastest eroding coastlines in Europe. Working with the local community, Helen is creating a series of performative drawings of ‘a traced village’. EMILY OLDFIELD Rambler and poet Emily Oldfield will be exploring the history and topography of Winter Hill, Lancashire, documenting its interactions with its community through a series of walks with local artists and creative practitioners in a variety of media.

Sanatorium Abi Palmer A young woman spends a month taking the waters at a thermal water based rehabilitation facility in Budapest. On her return to London, she attempts to continue her recovery using an £80 inflatable blue Chinese bathtub. The tub becomes a metaphor for the intrusion of disability: a trip-hazard, sat in the middle of an unsuitable room, slowly deflating and in constant danger of falling apart. Moving between these contrasting spaces—bathtub to thermal pool, land to water, day to night—the text braids fragments of reportage, poetry, and found and posed image, to form an immersive exploration of the disabled, female body. Abi Palmer is a mixed-media artist and writer. Her work often includes themes of disability, gender and multisensory interaction. Her artwork includes: Crip Casino (Tate Modern, Somerset House) and Alchemy, winner of a Saboteur Award in 2016. She has written for BBC Radio, The Guardian, Poetry London and Stairs and Whispers: D/deaf and Disabled Poets Write Back. Sanatorium is her first book.
