Atlantic Challenger 2015
Written on 18 March 2015 whilst following Atlantic Challenger’s progress in the night on AI Navigation in Liverpool. Such excitement. Such pride in my nieces, now both very happily married and living intwo of the most beautiful counties in Britain, north and south. Challenger is still very much in life’s frame and a nautical theme that underpins both nieces. I admit great pride and joy.
WORDSWORTH ~ It Is A Beauteous Evening Calm and Free (1802)
The cover design is a digital artwork design. Although Wordsworth did not compose this poem until he was thirty-two years of age, I wanted to imagine the poet as a man aged twenty in 1790 against the background of Cumbria on the northwest coast of Britain.
