It's marked on all the maps and stories of its wonders abound but, for some mysterious reason, whenever we set off for the island we never seem to arrive. Starting with legendary voyages of failed or faked discovery, reality and illusion collide in poems that question how we see and know, and in which finding our island depends as much on navigating uncharted seas within, as on mastery of the stars.

'Pilot Songs explores the elusive, hallucinatory and darkly-enticing mysteries, wonders and perils of the oceans. Here are journeys across seas within and without, to islands real or enchanted, driven by compelling visions of possible, or perhaps impossible, archipelagoes floating in the balance. Each poem, rich with lucid beauty and precise lyric revelation, charts its own voyage, through sightings, “never-findings” and starry discoveries, into the unknown.' Nick Drake
