About This Book

The collection assembles short lyrical and narrative poems that evoke coastal Cornwall through local speech, seafaring scenes, and village domestic life. Many pieces use dialect to portray fishermen, market activity, and the hazards and harvests of the sea, while others shift into reflective lyricism about aging, memory, and home. The poems alternate humor and pathos, ranging from lively hauling and harbour work to quiet fireside and garden moments, and often focus on communal rhythms, seasonal change, and the small pleasures and hardships of provincial existence.
