Heavy Time

In Heavy Time psychogeographer Sonia Overall takes to the old pilgrim roads, navigating a route from Canterbury to Walsingham via London and her home town of Ely.Vivid in her evocation of a landscape of ancient chapels, ruined farms and suburban follies, Overall`s secular pilgrimage elevates the ordinary, collecting roadside objects – feathers, a bingo card, a worn penny – as relics. Facing injury and interruption, she takes the path of the lone woman walker, seeking out `thin places` where past and present collide, and where new ways of living might begin.`It is a talisman of a book. Heavy Time doesn`t just describe a pilgrimage, it becomes one, for both writer and reader. It is an invitation to resist `busyness`, to think of ourselves as explorers, to seek out `the everyday divine`. It has sent me out looking for `thin places: pockets in the landscape where the membrane is so tightly stretched that other worlds might shine through.` Beautiful and essential.`- Helen Mort
