Introduction
Over the centuries Norfolk has inspired many
poets, novelists and painters. This site is an
attempt to catalogue all those particular connections. It was launched in October 2007
and is supported by Norfolk Tourism. New material is being added all the time.
Photographs
I am also attempting (over time) to photograph every
single literary landmark in the county. The early
photographs on the site were all taken with a Fujifilm
'point and shoot' digital camera (mostly during the
gloomy winter months of 2007/08). I have now graduated
to a Nikon D40 and hope to upgrade all of these 'dark
period' pictures in due course. I have also recently set
up a
Flickr Account - where additional Norfolk
photographs will be posted - along with the best of the
Literary Norfolk ones.
Who is Cameron Self?
From 1980-1983 I studied for a BA in Geography at Hull University
- at a time when Philip Larkin was still working in the library.
After completing my degree, I went on to take an MA in Creative
Writing at Lancaster University. I have had poetry published
in the Faber Book of Blue Verse, Poetry Review (x3), The Rialto
(x2),
Iron and Outposts Poetry Quarterly (x2). I have taught
creative writing for Norfolk Adult Education, Norwich City Council
and at H.M.P. Norwich. I have lived in Norfolk since the age of 2
and I currently work in Norwich.
I am also the
author of
Poets' Graves
and
Inspector Boozer and the Maddingham Murders.
