This is a personal engagement by David with certain places

and artists in the Land’s End peninsula, through his poems, 

essays and photographs.

Artists featured are Bryan Wynter, Tony O’Malley, 

Peter Lanyon, Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, Alfred Wallis, 

Colin Scott and the poet W.S. Graham; with the locations of 

Botallack, Wheal Owles, Carn Galva, Zennor, St Ives, Cot 

Valley and Lelant. David also explores the many zawns along 

this coast. (Zawn is a west Cornwall dialect word from the 

Cornish ‘sawan‘ meaning ‘chasm’.)

For the Cornish connoisseur, a valuable, essential and 

interesting book to possess.

This is a showcase for David’s atmospheric photographs accompanied by complementary essays, lectures, obituaries, haiku, & elegies. Rocks, rust, ruins & wrecks are recurring motifs. Most of the places featured are favourite Cornish locations, including Zennor & Cot Valley. Artists include Tony O’Malley, Colin Scott, Nancy Wynne-Jones & Wilhelmina Barns-Graham. The photographs & haiku reveal an underlying Japanese & Chinese aesthetic.  The book also takes a look at the origins of place-names in David’s home area of Oxfordshire & the Cotswolds; as well as examining Stafford Beer’s poetry, & how one of Beer’s books inspired a revolution in both Chilean politics & how we listen to music (thanks to Brian Eno’s mother-in-law).
