New
Writing
Thank God for Bloc! Thank goodness for Blighty! This
month we investigate what Blighty means to you, to all
of us. At a war veteran's funeral, his widow ruminates
on the 'green and pleasant land' for which he fought.
Meanwhile we investigate England's ambivalent attitude
to national pride, and sit in on a visit to Brighton
that takes Britart to the bloody edge, earning our monthly
prize. To get published on bloc next month, tell us
what childhood
means to you and send your work to editor@bloc-online.com.
Many thanks to Falmouth
Bookseller and Truro
Bookshop for providing prizes.
