About this title

Synopsis

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.
