A writer from Porthleven has had her work featured in an ambitious writing project commemorating 100 years since the end of the First World War.

The project is a major collaboration between a writers group called 26 and the First World War Centenary Partnership, led by Imperial War Museums.

The group created a new form of work called a 'centena', which is exactly 100 words long and the first three words are repeated as the concluding words.

One hundred writers were recruited to take part and a new piece of writing was published each day in the 100 days leading up to Armistice Day at 1914.org/armistice-100-days/centenas.

Suzie Inman, who owns and runs Porthleven-based writing and marketing company Mightier Words, wrote a centena inspired by the life of Annie Barron, a Canadian woman whose husband lost his life at Passchendaele.

It was a tragic tale from her friend, Canadian artist Dayna Law, that caught Suzie’s attention.

Suzie said: “Dayna told me about her husband’s grandfather, Private James Edmund Law, and his wife Annie Barron who married on Valentine’s Day 1914 and subsequently sailed to Canada from their native Rochdale to start a new life. James volunteered and left for France when Annie was pregnant – and he never came home.”

Suzie’s piece and the full creation story behind it was published on November 6 at 1914.org/armistice-100-days/centenas.

A book featuring all 100 centenas can be bought at justgiving.com/crowdfunding/100-centenas with all profits going to the charity War Child.
