Wreck of the Jeanne Goughy
by Colin Pink
A new collection of poems by Colin Pink, featuring twelve woodcut illustrations by Daniel Goodwin.
The collection hinges around an eponymous epic poem which relates the human cost of a fishing tragedy off Cornwall in 1962. It includes twelve sonnets and ten triolets, reflecting Colin's interest in formal poetic structures, though the subject matter and treatment is anything but. "Love, death, disaster and politics!" is how Colin sometimes summarises his work.
