This year, the Somerset Celebration of Literature is going ‘beyond the book’. Our literary experiences are no longer confined to words on pages, but now extend into a whole new realm. This includes the interplay between text, imagery, sound and video to create and communicate stories.
Throughout the guide, you would have seen a story developing. From a few random words, we had local artists generate inspired works. These were then collated and sent on to some of our attending authors, who used these pieces of stimulus to create text full of heart and meaning. We invite you to connect with us as we extend this concept in an online environment, right here on this page. Please, join the conversation!
It’s been a long journey, but we finally got there.
It’s been fun, it’s been hard, but is all apart of the story.
We had a huge time from the flash mob to the Claudia Gray arrival.
Thanks to everyone, from the Technical Services to the Marketing, you all made the Celebration of Literature 2012 successful; you all helped in making 14,000 people go BEYOND THE BOOK!!

Come here and listen,
For a second, minute or year
Don’t give up,
No matter how hard you have to fight
If you were drowning in a pool of tears,
Even if I could not swim, I would come to save you.
Come cry on my shoulder,
I’ll wipe your tears away,
And exchange it for a grin.
I’m a crushed pile of car parts,
Once assembled into a sleek silver machine,
Now broken, useless,
I never let anyone help me improve,
But if I needed a mechanic,
Hey, it would be you.
Don’t lose faith,
Or self-strength too,
Hey, listen,
I believe in you.
