Port : Words from the edge of land (Paperback)

More than places where ships load and unload, ports are points of departure and arrival, places where 'here' contacts 'there', and where known and unknown meet. Port brings together a selection of prose and poetry about harbours and havens all across the UK and beyond, ranging from giant container ports to fishing quays in remote locations.
