Angela Stoner is also from Cornwall believes in the healing power of metaphor and her writing and workshops reflect this. Her work has appeared in literary and professional journals and anthologies.

This is always a great evening.
Agnes seems to find a wide range of talent, of invariably good standard international and British writers. Her manner is bright and welcoming and the floor poets are definitely made to feel at home
