The Slumbering Bard | The Bardic Academic

Crossing the Creative/Critical Divide. Wild camping on the Peak District. Spine against the vertebrae. Of the Pennines,. Legs heavy with hundreds of miles. Stretch to the South,.

Walking to the Light | The Bardic Academic

Crossing the Creative/Critical Divide. Walking to the Light. Last night I sleepwalked with 8 other people. Like characters lost in some surreal story. Little Nemos in Slumberland. We wandered over hill and down dale, through night-forests and night-gardens. We could have been Stephen Black, following the King’s Roads (like in a scene from. Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell). But we were pagan pilgrims, or rather. Walkers of many paths. Walking in file through the wet fields, everything was sensation. T...

Crossing the Creative/Critical Divide. The druid sun beats its gong as. Hot from the overlong drive and. The dark fug of the virtual visitor experience. We emerge blinking into the glare of the real. Past the mohicaned round-houses. Where an American tourist is impressed. By the pulling strength of a Neolithic hunting bow. We bolt up the blistering tarmac of the old A344. Before detouring across the withered fields. To our first shaggy barrow, where. We find a slice of cool shade to. Due Winter.* *.
