THE CAVERNS OF ELY

The Caverns of Ely is a long narrative poem which moves among a number of world: a mythical underwater realm, a village in Cambridgeshire, England, a coral reef in Belize, and a spit in the south shore of Cuba. Myth, history and present reality converse together in a poem which looks at themes of love, courage and archaeology.
