This collection of poems springs from an awareness of how landscape and its history shape the way we live in it. The author’s maps and charts release islands and seascapes, fells and fens, ancestors, boatbuilders, fruit growers and the odd saint. Her poems offer a different kind of mapmaking, making a different kind of sense.
