'What a book! Walking-writing as a collective act, as it should be.' - Robert Macfarlane

'The Footing' comprises poems and sequences on the theme of walking, with contributions from Angelina Ayers, James Caruth, Mark Goodwin, Rob Hindle, Andrew Hirst, Chris Jones, and Fay Musselwhite
'It is the best anthology of new work that I’ve read in years; anyone with an interest in contemporary British poetry should read it.' - Billy Mills

Last few copies of 'The Footing': our first (and, to date, only) anthology (unlikely to be reprinted)

Worth snapping up if there’s only a few left: would also make a good present for anyone who likes walking/the outdoors (or just really good poetry).

Legend has it that St Botolph’s Church in Iken, Suffolk, was once marshland teeming with demons, before a holy man drove them away—or did he? The church is the setting for Reggie Oliver’s “Funeral at St Botolph’s”, the story that opens Tales of #OccultBritain.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.

"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA
