Radiophrenia is back – Monday April 7th to Sunday April 20th.

I have three works appearing and the first is Hallaig on 7 April 2025 4:30 am – 6:30 am

May.
The Hebridean island of Raasay.
From a beach below Gualann na Leac walk up the slope to the path, the cairn and the milepost. Follow the track north into the birchwood and walk down through the woods towards the waterfall; stop on a small bluff. Retrace my way, cross the Hallaig Burn, walk up the hill to the lost (by edict of a nineteenth century landlord) village of Hallaig.
Walk the stones of the houses.
Walk back, south, cross the burn at the ford. Walk on, beyond the milepost, then turn, and walk down the slope to the beach.

Dove Crag Island is created by my human-scale movement and my imagination. I walk the island once each month across the turning of the year. For Terminalia I walk an eight-mile shoreline … a boundary of an imagined island … in north Northumberland.

In light snow I walk
the shore of Dove Crag Island.
The land is sodden.

Amongst The Oaks
one blackbird flies, then three more.
Cold grips the woodland.

Boot-knock on wet boards.
I stand on the wooden bridge
above the tumbling burn.

The shoreline turns east.
Amongst trees my chill eases
as the wind drops away.

I watch a field empty.
Sheep run to the sound of
the shepherd’s quad bike.
