Graham Burchell

He was away from his home, Devon, England for eight years. There was a period of readjustment of course. Somehow England didn't seem quite the same place he had left. This book is a reappraisal of his native land, focusing particularly on Dawlish and the Devon landscape beyond.

Sample poem...

HOT AYRE
(Concert in Dawlish by Hot Ayre
Recorder Consort - July 17th 2008)



Kettle whistle descants layered
upon bird tongue trebles,
and dry melancholy
of a church-stone age, ached
from plastic duct of tenors,
while in the basement clef,
old men coughed at each other's graves
from two basses in F.
