At times reflective, at times quickened by a rare and intriguing
energy, these poems celebrate, evoke, and lament the nature of
romantic love. Yet this anthology finds it is not only the human
person that can capture a poet's heart: the reader is invited to
consider whether the fine pulse of love-with its longing for
attachment, its inspiration, its almost numinous power-might not
also be prompted by the wider domain of nature as a whole.
As the author himself explains, all poetry may-in a special and
extended sense - be conceived of as 'love poetry'. Accordingly,
this work brings into a single scope the delights of hillside and
seascape-the wild and the elemental, as well as the more calm and
cultivated. From the north-west of Scotland to the south-west of
England, from the lure of the North Sea to the spell cast by
Pendle's beacon, these pieces declare a rich soil for what is a
surprisingly accessible literary harvest.
