Ejector Seat

A vow made as part of a magic ritual conducted outside Huddersfield train station during a psychogeography conference compelled the author to write a new series of poems. 



Ejector Seat is the resulting writing - hurtling from the white hot optimism of a faultily-remembered 1960s to a present day confined for months in a suburban house. 



Dreams, memories and an epic online walk along every street in the UK called 'Boundary Road' provide the shifting ground for these words.
