Description

Twenty years ago Roger Wagner and a group of fellow artists--The Metaphysical Painters--set out on the first of a series of annual pilgrimages to places associated with poets, painters, and writers who transfigured the landscapes in which they lived. Beginning in a bamboo forest in Japan and ending on a boat to Bardsey--"the isle of twenty thousand saints"--the book weaves together poetry, prose, and paintings that describe these journeys and responds to artists like Samuel Palmer, George Herbert, Thomas Traherne, and William Blake.
