Byways, an anthology of stories and poems from across the UK and elsewhere, exploring the urban shortcuts, well-trodden meanders, ancient pathways, hillside and field paths. The public and the secret ways that take us away from the crowds and out of our vehicles. Mainly in English but including a handful of poems in Welsh (with translation), join us off the beaten track.

Arachne Press has a track record (pun intended) of publishing what academics call psychogeography, but we call well-routed. We also have history with climate concern. We combine the two here, offering drama and solace from experiencing the world at the slow pace of a walk, whether the short cut to the chippy, or an all day hike in the hills.

with contributions from Adele Evershed, Amelia Foster, Angela Arnold, Annemarie Cooper, Annie Kissack, Attalea Rose, Cath Humphris, Des Mannay, Diana Powell, Eabhan Ni Shuileabhain, Em Gray, Gloria Heffernan, Gregory McGreevy, Gwyn Parry, Heather Lane, Helen Campbell, Jane McLaughlin, Jeff Phelps, Jonah Corren, Josie Levin, Judith Mikesch-McKenzie, Katie Harrison, Katie Margaret Hall, Kelly Davis, Laura Besley, Lisa Farrell, Lizzie Lovejoy, Mab Jones, Maddison Price, Marcus Smith, Michael Shann, Michelle Penn, Mitzi Dorton, Nicholas McGaughey, Phil Wood, Raymond Luczak, Rhys Owain Williams, Ros Woolner, Sara Louise Wheeler, Seth Crook, Simon Chandler, Sue Burge Sue Moules and Thea Smiley

Industry Reviews

There's something intensely moving about these poetic journeys which

focus on the spirit of place and the deep connections we have with our

landscapes and people.

Matthew M.C. Smith author of The Keeper of Aeons

Byways is a gazetteer of the private places and the gaps in the map

- the very best places of all. Armchair travel has never been so seductive.

Mike Parker author of The Map Addict
