A symbolic character, like a forgotten member of the Major Arcana, the Pilgrimer appears wandering a land where standing stones can become a way to sell spaces in a car park and where pubs can become ritualistic temples. In this collection the Pilgrimer walks the land looking to reconcile 21st century Britain with its ancient and mythical past.

Description

Cairn
Not much left of the scrimshaw now, carried off in time
our names, indecent shapes, written in sand, lost in ebb
and weathering salt that grounded the land, held it
back and safe. All up the coast we held our own and
adopted, the cairns keeping watch over all our dead
and living still and tending.
