~ About The Coffin Path ~

“The Coffin Path is a book of poems and photography that surge and pulse with life. Exquisitely crafted, the poems are tender, unflinching, great swirls of language that transport me into the magical lands of West Penwith. Black and white images punctuate the poems or maybe the poems punctuate the images – either way there is a musicality at work here that is assured and inspiring. I felt my spirit swell when reading this book.” Alyson Hallet

“I felt a dizzying sense of freedom after reading these poems, the way they honour the wild beauty of West Penwith’s far coastline and so much embedded personal history. ‘The force of memory/ rushes over an edge/ & sweeps me/ down the long drop.’ There’s a sense of ‘the energy of saints’ in the salted miles of air, sea stone, and wondrously prolific natural world, all caught in exacting language, and an exuberant, vibrant tone. Fabulous.” Rosie Jackson
