To Catch a Poem

From Bannerdale to Bewcastle, Cullercoats to Caldbeck, poet Ingrid Wilson criss-crosses the Northern countryside, searching for lines of poetry hidden in high places and wooded hollows. Nature is her place of worship, and poetry her song of praise.

All of these poems were composed whilst out walking or cycling in various locations close to the poet's home, including the Lake District, Scottish Borders, and the Northeast coast of England. They are mostly lyrical in form, and song-like in structure, as lines walked out in nature tend to be.
