last visit: 30.04.08 		The Relubbus Roundup, ever at the forefront of the avant garde arts scene, is truly privileged to have secured the publishing rights to the latest work of the celebrated Penzance poet, 'Odgo Semmens. I can do no better than to quote the words of our Poetry Correspondent, Alice Chirgwin-Jacka:
Quote'Odgo Semmens (79) the celebrated Cornish poet and author of the now globally renowned and treasured poem I Aren't, has, under considerable public pressure from the crowds besieging his home in Colinsey Road, Penzance, released a further work, Walking in West Penwith, which seems set to seal his reputation as one of the greatest living poets in Colinsey Road.


You can find 'Odgo's masterpiece here.

Yeghes da,

My reaction was exactly the same as yours -- plus slight embarrassment that I was moved by a piece that was probably written with a humorous (or even, dare one say, satiric) intent. It's a dialect poem that seems to me to stand in its own right, whatever the writer's intentions may have been...

last visit: 04.04.08 		I agree with Horton! I've just started a thread on This is Cornwall about beautiful places in our lovely land and 'Odgo hits the nail on the head with this poem. It is a jewel of a dialect poem, glorifying our land, set in a background of farce and satire.

Proper is what I say!
