The Book of Abundance;
a poet's pilgrimage on the Camino Ingles
Due for publication 20th March 2025
In the late Spring of 2023, upon slowly beginning to emerge past a period of some not insignificant personal malady I embarked alone on the traditional English pilgrimage route of the Camino de Santiago; a thousand year old path pilgrims have taken from various places across the Old Continent to visit the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain where tradition holds the remains of St James the apostle are laid.
I wrote notes throughout the trip and on my return to England I used these notes to create my first book of poems, due for publication on the spring equinox in 2025.
The book is made up of forty poems that take the reader on a journey from Manchester to Compostela on an ancient road-trip in search of the divine.
I'm also working on some music as a companion piece to the book and hoping to have that ready at the same time.
More details will follow closer to publication
