This linocut poem print is about a damp autumn climb up Helvellyn, catching the hollow wind of Striding Edge, the black waters of Red Tarn, and the mountain's heavy silence. Any devoted fellwalker would love this on their wall to bring that deep, grounding stillness into their home.

Helvellyn

The silver clag begins to fold
Across the steep and broken scree;
The autumn air is damp and cold,
And takes the valley floor from me.

Along the blade of Striding Edge,
The wind begins a hollow moan;
Below the dark and shattered ledge,
Red Tarn lies black against the stone.

The wet slate shifts beneath my boot,
The air is water on my skin;
The mountain strips me to the root,
And lets the heavy silence in.

When I am back on valley ground,
And sleep beneath a gentle rain,
The stillness of the fell is bound
Like iron water in my vein.

The print. A4 (21 x 29.7cm) or A3 (29.7 x 42cm). Framed in a solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, with shatterproof acrylic glazing and hanging fixtures fitted, or unframed on 200gsm fine-art paper, sent flat and ready for a frame of your own. Printed to order.

Sizes

A4 — 21 × 29.7 cm

A3 — 29.7 × 42 cm

Each size is the printed sheet itself. Framed, the 20 mm moulding sits outside it and there is no mount, so the whole sheet is on show. Unframed, it is sent flat, ready for a frame of your own.

Paper, frame and glazing

Printed on 200 gsm enhanced matte fine-art paper — no gloss and no glare, so the words read cleanly from across a room.

Framed in a 20 mm wide solid wood moulding in black, white or natural wood, glazed with shatterproof acrylic rather than glass, with a backing board and hanging fixtures already fitted.

Unframed prints are the same paper and the same print, sent flat.
