Crossley-Holland, Kevin & Ackroyd, Norman: Moored Man. Poems of North Norfolk. Watercolours & Etchings. [With original etching - Overy Marshes]. , London Enitharmon 2006

Fine copy hardback and print contained in slipcase, 270 x 225mm. Light brown cloth, gilt lettering with coloured print to front cover. Illustrated throughout in colour and sepia. This is beautifully production. The publisher states: Moored Man is a shape-changer, passionate and dangerous. In this powerful cycle, we see him moulding dykes, sorting gravel, infilling creeks, tricking the unwary, drowning the innocent, howling and dancing, and all the while worrying away at his own contradictory identity and relationship to human beings. This is Kevin Crossley-Holland's first new collection since The Language of Yes (Enitharmon Press, 1996), and it is a vivid and penetrating enquiry into the dramatic north Norfolk landscape where he now lives. Norman Ackroyd's evocative etchings and watercolours provide a haunting accompaniment to the poems in this sumptuous edition. Edition limited to 90 copies, this is number 74. Signed by Crossley-Holland and Ackroyd. (Book ref. 633)  £295.00
