Martyn Crucefix's new poems vividly evoke the landscapes of northern England and-in a sequence of sonnets inspired by the writing of Rosalía de Castro-the north west of Spain.

I'd want to say it was past seven o'clock or perhaps by then even seven-fifteen- I'm sure of it now-a quarter past the hour was the time we turned and part of what it meant ('The map house')
