Discover the Magic of Cornwall in Verse and Tune In to the Chart-Topping Poetry Podcast

The arrival of December brings a fresh Cornish wind, carrying the sharp taste of salt and slate. The moors brace for winter, and the tide relentlessly presses against the granite cliffs. This natural rhythm reminds us that poetry, much like the sea, is both restless and eternal. Today marks the launch of Cornwall In Verse – Tide To Tor In Poetry, a collection that captures the rugged spirit of Cornwall through words. Alongside this, Alden Carrows Poetry Podcast has risen to #2 in the Goodpods Top 100 Indie Books Weekly chart, proving that poetry continues to find its audience despite technical challenges.

The Heart of Cornwall Captured in Poetry

Cornwall’s landscape is unique—wild moors, towering tors, and relentless tides shape its character. This collection of poems stands as a tribute to that landscape and the emotions it evokes. The verses invite readers to stand “between the tor and tide,” becoming pilgrims of stone and witnesses of sand. The poems echo the cries of gulls and the secrets held by ancient cliffs.

This book offers more than just words on a page. It serves as a companion for those who walk Cornwall’s paths, whether in memory or longing. The poems bring to life the textures and sounds of the region, from the salty air to the whisper of the wind over granite.
