A collection of all Peter Riley's writings that have resulted from annual visits to the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales between 1977 and 1998 - ordinary family holidays in a coastal caravan, but taking the notion of pilgrimage from that terrain into the possibilities and difficulties of a modern sense of ultimate purpose.

Since the 1970s, Peter Riley and his wife have been making regular trips to the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales, and he has been writing a series of poems and meditations about the place - a spectacular area of natural beauty. To date, many of these poems, and poem-sequences, have appeared in small-press and bibliophile editions, and in artists' books. Three of the sequences were also collected in the author's Selected Poems, 'Passing Measures', published by Carcanet in 2000. Now, for the first time, all of Peter Riley's Llyn writings - poems and prose-poems - are collected together under one set of covers.
