The Walkative Revolution: a meditation on walking and 'not-walking’.

When chronic illness constrained the poet’s ability to move through the world, he reconsidered what it is to walk, be a walker, or a ‘not-walker’, and creatively adapt to limit. Listening to walking groups and ‘not-walkers’ alike, Finlay assembled this ambitious body of poems and images, including innovative forms, manifestos, ‘conspectus’ visual poems, and poems for walking sticks. The Walkative Revolution reflects how walking together can change the ways we care for places, how imaginative access alters our perception of the landscape, and how new forms, such as ‘proxy walks’ and minor walks, offer models of solidarity.
