Twenty years ago Roger Wagner and a group of fellow artists–The Metaphysical Painters–set out on the first of a series of annual pilgrimages to places associated with poets, painters, and writers who transfigured the landscapes in which they lived. Beginning in a bamboo forest in Japan and ending on a boat to Bardsey–‘the isle of twenty thousand saints’–the book weaves together poetry, prose, and paintings that describe these journeys and responds to artists like Samuel Palmer, George Herbert, Thomas Traherne, and William Blake.
