This Albion: Snapshots of a Compromised Land by Charlie Hill
Book Review – September 2024 I had for some time believed the key to effective writing was to concentrate on the surface of things. Record them faithfully, and they’d do the work for you. After all, the world is manifestly absurd … Continue reading
Muntjac by Clevelode
Music Review – July 2024 Although I left this place, part of me remains (this is) very much musical psychogeography ~ Paul Newland I have fond memories of The Lowland Hundred. They provided me with a soundtrack for the middle-teen … Continue reading

Book Review – July 2024 This new space encompassed not only the rural, but also the urban, suburban, the in-between places, the industrial or post-industrial, the abandoned, and the places that humans were coming to live in for the first … Continue reading

Final Approach by Mark Blackburn
Final Approach charts the turbulent flightpath between a jetsetting father and a planespotting son. Final Approach is a long way from being the type of book I would normally read and enjoy. I do not share Mark Blackburn’s twin obsessions … Continue reading
Psychogeographic Review’s Books of the Year, 2023
What is psychogeography, anyway? My understanding of the concept is three-fold: it is a theory, a practice and a body of evidence. The most interesting of these, for me, is the body of evidence: the books, works of art and … Continue reading
Real Dorset by Jon Woolcott
Book Review – August 2023 So it seemed to me that Dorset is ripe for a sort of psychogeography – a literary tradition that in essence is a sensitivity to the meeting point of place and history, finding meaning in … Continue reading
Brittle With Relics: A History Of Wales 1962 – 1997 by Richard King
Book Review – August 2023 This is a history of a nation determined to survive during crisis, while maintaining the enduring hope that Wales will one day thrive on its own terms. I was looking forward to reading Brittle With … Continue reading
