Pilgrimage

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of a 1990 pilgrimage from London to Iona, this ambitious book-length poem intertwines spiritual and ecological themes. It reflects on Britain's radical tradition, drawing inspiration from literary giants like Wordsworth and Chaucer. The work is epiphanic and conversational, exploring the psychological and political dimensions of faith. Iona serves as a powerful symbol of the Celtic church and the spiritual direction that Christianity has strayed from, making this poem a profound meditation on identity and belonging.
