East Wind is a set of three hand-stitched and stamped pamphlets containing a sequence of lyrical essays and haiku that narrate the author’s continuous 24 hour walk from Hull to Withernsea and Hornsea over the 10th and 11th May 2014. The set is limited to a numbered edition of 25. Each set comes with a extra enveloped haiku unique to that copy.
