A collection of poems on the themes of love, water and westcountry.
Kevin Pyne`s experiences of observing the ever-changing life on the river, his love of the people and history of Devon and Cornwall, the tragic loss of his wife at only 46 and his own recent brush with death, have all shaped and coloured his first collection of poems.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Kevin Pyne was born and still lives in Dartmouth, Devon and for many years was a ferryman on the river Dart.
He helped found the Dart Gig Club and now regularly umpires on the Cornish pilot gig circuit with many of his poems having a Cornish theme.
"I recommend these poems above all to anyone who wants to do more than blow through a place, anyone who has time to sit down and listen a little more deeply to one of the west`s true voices" Alice Oswald, Winner of the 2002 T.S.Eliot Prize
"Kevin Pyne`s poems are powerful and original, his images unexpected and perceptive.
He evokes with equal tenderness his love for his dead wife and his love of the river and the sea.
I believe anyone who reads them will be both touched and profoundly moved by his passion." David Dimbleby
