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.
