What unites Henri Beyle , the Watcher on the glazed veranda, Leah Lee , the Lady presiding over the Game of Tanka, and Kurt Schwitters ? A fastidious gentleness perhaps? Nostalgia certainly. But equally the presence of brewed tea. In Cumbria is a new collection by the author of Montale: A Biographical Anthology, Occam's Aftershave, Three Painters and other books, as well as a number of Picaro/Ginninderra chapbooks. John Watson is the 2016 winner of the Newcastle Poetry Prize.
