The submerged land of Lyonesse was once part of Cornwall, according to myth, standing for a lost paradise in Arthurian legend, but becomes an emblem of human frailty in the face of climate change in Penelope Shuttle 's new poems.
The second part of the book, New Lamps for Old, is a collection of poems searching for meaning in life after bereavement.
