Come take a voyage on the English Channel, the tumultuous stretch of water separating southern England from northern France. For hundreds of years, the Channel has inspired poets such as Charlotte Smith, William Wordsworth, John Keats, William Lisle Bowles, Thomas Hardy and many more. Wild, or calm as a millpond, this is your invitation to hoist the mainsail and navigate these pages, sun-bleached and brine-soaked! You will find poems of departure: of stormy crossings and treacherous seas. There are poems of arrival: excited first glimpses of land or weary travellers heading home. You will see solitary speakers standing on the shore, staring out across the foaming swell, ever wondering what lies beyond the waves. The poems encompass themes of identity and belonging, a sometimes-complex sense of what it means to be British, and a deep love for England’s coastal landscapes. What the Tide left Behind is a poetic celebration of the mercurial and untamed nature of the English Channel and the adventurous souls who dare to sail across it!
