Books by Simon Armitage

Dwell
Inspired by the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall, Simon Armitage (Poet Laureate) has written this collection of poems on the theme of dwellings built and inhabited by an assortment of nature's indigenous wild creatures. The slim volume  - beautifully illustrated by Beth Munro's prints  -  is quite simply the perfect antidote to so much horror and destruction happening in the world today. Original and witty, it's a joy to dip into, savour the words, and just 'dwell'!
