Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. A poetic journey into the heart of Cumbria - geology, labour, landscape, and the long memory of place."We stand on compressed mud to look at fire."Cumbria is not one landscape. It is three. Volcanic fire, ancient ice, and the patient work of human hands collided here over four hundred million years - and the results still shape every fell, farm, and footpath. Cumbria In Verse: Lakes To Fells In Poetry is a collection of seventy-six poems that stand inside that collision and refuse to look away.From the highest market town in England to the submarine yards of Barrow-in-Furness. From the stone circles of the Eden Valley to the drowned iron workings of the Cumbrian coast. From the volcanic heart of the central fells to the saltmarsh edges of the Solway Firth - each poem listens to a specific place, and to the geology, labour, and weather that made it.Inside this collection you will find: 76 original poems rooted in real Cumbrian places, from Scafell Pike to Morecambe Bay.The Lake District reimagined - not as a postcard, but as living stone, water, and work.Verse shaped by walking, weather, and deep time.Herdwick ewes, packhorse bridges, slate quarries, and drowned iron - the Cumbria few guidebooks reach.A perfect companion for walkers, fell-wanderers, Wainwright devotees, and armchair travellers alike.This is not a book of pretty views. It is a portrait of a county defined by pressure, fracture, and endurance - where beauty is inseparable from geology, from work, from memory. A Lakeland fell becomes a record of deep time. A packhorse bridge carries the story of every vehicle too wide to cross it. A Herdwick ewe on an open hillside carries her grazing boundary written into her DNA.Readers who walk these landscapes will find them altered forever - deepened, made strange, made wonderful. Readers who have never set foot in Cumbria will find themselves standing on the stone, feeling the cold, understanding something true about the world and how it came to be.Perfect for readers who love: Robert Macfarlane, Simon Armitage, Kathleen Jamie, Norman Nicholson, and Wainwright. British landscape poetry. Lake District walking. Nature writing with teeth.An ideal gift for walkers, hillwalkers, climbers, Cumbrian expats, Lake District lovers, and anyone who has ever stood on a fell at dusk and felt the land push back.Part of British Counties In Verse - an ongoing poetic journey across the counties of Great Britain, one landscape at a time.
