Book Description:

A free-wheeling philosophical poem that emerged during the walks Roger Horrocks took over a year of his life. In this striking, one-of-a-kind work, he seeks to engage as directly as possible with the basic elements of life - the self and the body, sleeping and waking, death and belief, and above all the strangeness of thought ("the ghost in the machine").
