The experiences of an ordinary man on the pilgrim’s path are charted in this narrative that walks along the Camino Francés to the shrine of Saint James at Santiago de Compostela and then on to Finisterre, the westernmost point of Spain. The history of the Camino is recounted, as well as several of the myths, legends, and miracle stories that have become attached--and given special meaning--to this itinerary. Emphasizing that personal myths are an essential part of this lore, this chronicle also includes stories from the confraternity of the pilgrims, people from all corners of the world who visit this walk for a great diversity of reasons, but all of whom leave having experienced the same miracle--that this pilgrimage will play a defining role in their lives.

In this heartbreaking chapbook of poems, Paul Robert Mullen charts the demise of relationships through the windows of loss. He navigates from the aching moments of realisation through the crushing introspection that follows, and into a gentle state of acceptance. These words find the delicate heart of our pain and the sensation of cracking apart that comes with losing those we love, and how we can catalogue our grief until we find a place from which we can finally let go.
This biography pieces together elements of Laing's life, re-evaluating this remarkable man's thought. In particular it addresses his ambivalence towards Freud; his unreconstructed Marxism; his love of Buddha - but his reconstructed Buddhism; his adoration of Nietzsche and Sartre - the only two 'contemporaries' he believed superior to himself; and the ideas he developed through his own experience of working with himself and his patients. His behaviour could range from peacefulness and enlightenment to violence. But he could always be trusted to be none but himself - tender, compassionate, cruel, vindictive, sober or drunk, muddle-headed and/or profoundly perceptive and original, tearful and morose, joyous and contented.
