Moon’s Yard is Rushforth Morley’s first book of poetry. It is an eclectic collection, ranging from verse narratives to the experimental, but one from which a unique voice begins to emerge. Landscapes range from his native Cornwall to those of a mythic past that seems at once familiar yet dreamlike. The tone switches from the elusive and evocative to the comic, and narrative strands thread his work, tantalisingly unconnected, like the veins in a good Stilton.
