Credo

by Mervyn Linford

Overview

Poems of the Essex saltmarshes, of the creeks, the fleets, the seascapes and the skies, in which science and imagination vie to measure up to the experience of nature. Mervyn Linford hymns and chronicles the birds, fish, and flora of his solitary seeing with loving attention to the colours and forms of the estuaries in all weathers - and he recalls visits to the cinema, the great cathedral of Chartres, and the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme.
