The Tin Lodes is a collaboration between two poets living around the Teign estuary in South Devon. To the west lies Dartmoor and the source of the river; to the the coast and the English Channel. These poems distill the natural, human and industrial history of the area and consider the many anonymous lives that have inhabited it. This is a sympathetic and enlightening study which places a beautiful region in a global context, ringing with lyricism.
