Four Points Fourteen Lines

Beschreibung

A collection of sonnets written when schoolteacher Tony Chan gave up his job and embarked on a 78-day, 1400-mile solo trek across the four points of mainland Britain. He wrote a sonnet on every day of the journey from Dunnet Head to Ardnamurchan Point and from Lowestoft Ness to Lizard Point.

Autor

Tony Chan is a former football coach and schoolmaster who spent many years teaching English and Latin at Stowe. In his late twenties, seeking a higher experience of life, he entered--as he playfully terms it himself--the 'adventuring phase' of his life: trekking up Mount Kilimanjaro and joining passels of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. These explorations were the foundation stones for his Four Points walk. Born in Hong Kong, raised in Australia, and now settled in Britain, much of his work deals with the confluence of national identities.
