A weathered leather notebook lying open on a jagged lichen-covered stone wall in the Cumbrian fells. The pages, covered in elegant cursive, flutter in a cold wind. In the soft-focus background, a dramatic, mist-shrouded mountain peak rises under a heavy, indigo sky. The style is moody and atmospheric, with sharp focus on the grit of the stone and the fragility of the paper.
Today’s desk:
maps of the Lakes, early drafts, and the field notes that shaped the final poem sequence.
Every poem began with observation.
