Genre: Natural History
Category: New Books
The sequel to Simon Armitage's enjoyable Walking Home in which he travelled the length of the Pennine Way as a modern day troubadour. This time he heads in the opposite direction to Britain's rugged South West Coast, holding readings each night and carrying poetry to remote corners and brash tourist hot spots. One of our best loved writers today, Armitage's wit and wisdom are ceaslessly appealing. Highly recommended for those who hanker for the wilds, for timeless observations of people and place and to sink into the deeper, slower pleasures offered by poetry.
