Like many poets, such as Wordsworth, the author of Walking Sequence and Other Poems has found that walking sets up a rhythm which often turns into the act of verbal creation. The poet and his wife, and two close friends, walked one hot summer's day from Starcross to Exeter: a walk that is celebrated in this collection and which attracted to it intensive memories of other walks the poet had taken. Whether trekking up to the Stupa of Peace above Pokhara in Nepal, Walking with words in Paris, or observing with a friend hikers in the Alpes Maritimes as 'white legs walking', the perambulatory act has always been for Oxley both a source of inspiration and communion with nature.
