These poems explore the remnants of a system of ancient narrative trackways that criss-cross the landscapes of south and south west England. These flows of energy underpin the hermetics of enclosure. They are explored here for the first time. This book might be a strategy — a self help manual for the ontologically dispossessed – or just an encouragement to trespass in the newly enclosed purlieu of the self. Tell it how you want, emblematic landscapes — and how we perceive them – can mirror identity and relationship, creating a cultural space within which both can become tenable.
"Jordan articulates his ideas with lucidity and wit . . . he does not depict appearances but the forces that shape them and the possibilities they contain." (Jeremy Hooker)
