Swims by Elizabeth-Jane Burnett In These Days of Prohibition he also edited The FaberSwims is an inventive debut collection from Elizabeth Jane Burnett. Taking the form of a long poem split into chapters, Swims documents wild swims in lakes, rivers and seas across the UK, starting and ending in Burnett's home county, Devon. Interspersed with a sequence on the deteriorating health of her father, Swims cuts a path through Britain's waterways investigating the lasting human effect on nature and nature's unmistakable effect on us.
