The Road Taken

The Road Taken by John Hudson brings together three sequences of poems created for walks in London and France. Shapeshifter written for a small rural community in France explores the transformations a community uses and undergoes in order to thrive on a daily basis. Stride draws inspiration from the poet's cultural roots on London's East End and undertakes a twelve mile walk across varied terrain socially physically spiritually and psychologically. A Strange Guide to Places walks a thirty four kilometre path in a sequence of poems that can be read in either direction and takes the reader on a journey beyond the confines of physical geography into a landscape of imaginative possibilities.
