The fifth episode of my series SAVING PLACE. A series where I am discussing places that mean a lot to interesting, talented people. I'm joined this week by an amazingly talented writer, poet, theatre director and a fellow former psychogeography student - Liam Xavier.   Liam provides four places that mean a lot to him. This leads to fascinating conversation about growing up at university, travelling to new places, flying for the first time and the madness of travelling around Nepal by road. We delve Liam's fondness for water and forestry, how places have had a large impact on his work and the links between spirituality and location.

I have recently completed a major part of my research - a walk of the complete 120+ mile length of the A12 road – from Blackwall to Lowestoft. This might sound unusual and you’re probably thinking “why?”. Well it follows in the footsteps of earlier studies of routes, such as author Iain Sinclair’s M25 book – “London Orbital” and is entangled with the idea of psychogeography - a practice concerned with the importance of place.  Please check out my social media and website for information on my PhD research and samples of my work -  Twitter - @b2homas Instagram - @b2homas Linktree - https://linktr.ee/B2homas Website - www.benjaminjamesthomas.com   Use the hashtag #SavingPlace when sharing.
