The skinny and rocky coastline of Cornwall has spawned some invigorating poetry. In these ten poems ? including one in both English and Kernewek, or Cornish ? we encounter land and sea, wild ponies and a Modernist artist, alongside a hill-top 'huer' whose job is to call the fishermen when the pilchard arrive: ?They come, they come, that longed-for shoal, And his voice goes forth in a welcome roll Over rock and reef, over lake and land?? from 'The Cornish Huer' by John Harris The selection sparkles in the vivid Cornish light bringing us moments of beauty and exhilaration ? always with the salty tang of sea air. Katrina Naomi is a poet who grew up close to the sea and now lives in Cornwall. Poems by Rachael Allen, Charles Causley, Jack Clemo, Ella Frears, WS Graham, John Harris, Katrina Naomi, Pascale Petit, Peter Redgrove and Penelope Shuttle. Cover illustration by Hazel McNab. Includes one poetry pamphlet, envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.
