Edge of the Orison In the Traces of John Clare's 'Journey Out of Essex'

In 1841, the poet John Clare escaped from High Beach Asylum in Epping Forest and, heading towards his home in Northborough, covered 80 miles. He was searching for his lost love, a woman already three years dead. Iain Sinclair sets out to recreate Clare's walk away from madness and to explore his own obsession with the poet.
