Poems of Peak and Dale Find!

Helen from the Cumbria Reading Detectives has reminded us of a a Peak District poet! Alan Robinson published Poems of Peak and Dale (Athena Press) in 2002 and lives in Matlock. His poems are inspired by the landscape, the towns and villages, historic characters including Mary Queen of Scots at Buxton, buildings including St Anne's Well and tourist attractions such as Poole's Cavern with its

"old ghosts that haunt eternal nights"

It's quite a mixed bag, I liked that one and the one about Solomon's Temple, others I didn't care for much but it's well worth a look.
