Not content with walking the Pennine Way as a modern day
troubadour, an experience recounted in his bestseller and
prize-wining Walking Home, the restless poet has followed up that
journey with a walk of the same distance but through the very
opposite terrain and direction far from home. In Walking Away Simon
Armitage swaps the moorland uplands of the north for the coastal
fringes of Britain's south west, once again giving readings every
night, but this time through Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, taking
poetry into distant communities and tourist hot-spots, busking his
way from start to finsh. From the surreal pleasuredome of Minehead
Butlins to a smoke-filled roundhouse on the Penwith Peninsula then
out to the Isles of Scilly and beyond, Armitage tackles this
personal Odyssey with all the poetic reflection and personal wit
we've come to expect of one of Britain's best loved and most
popular writers.
