Trailing Clouds Of Glory

Under the scree slopes

Your cold, peat-black waters are

As deep as England

“A marvellously comprehensive anthology that shows how much more there is to Lakeland poetry than Wordsworth (though he’s generously represented), with Norman Nicholson leading the way for later poets (outstanding among them William Scammell, Grevel Lindop, Matthew Hollis and Kim Moore) as aspects of landscape are minutely observed (mountains, lakes, fells, becks, rainfall, Herdwick sheep) and names lovingly recited: Skiddaw, Grasmere, Rydal, Helvellyn…

The perfect poetry collection for anyone who loves or wants to discover the Lakes.” –Blake Morrison
