This Place I know

In ‘This Place I Know’, editors Liz Nuttall, Kerry Darbishire and Kim Moore have marshalled a formidable array of talent – established poets, newly emerged poets and many new voices – and created an extended paean to Cumbria.

The quality of the work is high and the range is considerable, encompassing Carola Luther’s psychogeograhic delving into the Cymro-Anglian past, Chris Kelly’s speculations on the last English wold and Helen Farish’s Yeatsian musing on childhood, landscape and mortality.
