Friday Poem – ‘Tenby Shores’, David Foster-Morgan

Our Friday Poem this week is ‘Tenby Shores’ by David Foster-Morgan.

Poems from Pembrokeshire is part of Seren’s pamphlet series celebrating the spirit of place. An area of supreme but also disquieting beauty, Pembrokeshire has been the home to saints and pirates, the cradle of Tudor Kings and subject to oil spills and annual invasions of summer visitors. The undeniable loveliness of its off-shore islands: Ramsey, Grassholm, and Caldey, contrasts with the often harsh life of settlers, of monks and sea-fishing folk of the past, such as the stoic ‘Boatmen’ of Tenby.

Poems from Pembrokeshire is available from the Seren website: £5.00
