Dawlish News

In October 2007 circumstances led Graham Burchell, an award-winning poet and children’s author, back to Devon after several years away in the USA, Chile, Mexico, France and Tenerife. On his return he set to work on a collection of poems in which he reassessed his homeland, Devon, and Dawlish in particular in the light of such an absence. The result is a sparkling collection of fifty poems that tell of loss, old age, isolation and nature set in familiar places around Dawlish and stretching out into the Devon landscape beyond. The book was published by Searle Publishing in December, and is Graham Burchell’s second full collection. Further details can be found on his website: www.gburchell.com
