This beautifully produced book brings together Norman Ackroyd, one of Britain's foremost landscape artists, and the award winning poet Douglas Dunn in a collaboration that takes the reader around the coast line of Britain through word and image. The journey begins with an introduction by Douglas Dunn looking at the rich literary and artistic tradition of artists and writers who have chronicled the variety and splendour of the British coastline. Dunn's specially commissioned poems find a visual response in the subtly of Ackroyd's aquatints that reflect the variety of landscape to be found along the coast of Britain.
