In the frenetic restlessness of Western Society, our lives have grown too busy, our attention too lazy. We have lost the sacred art of being present — to the fire that burns inside us, to the wind that blows above us, to the water that flows between us, to the earth that stands below us. We have ceased to see the deeper reality, the ‘mountain behind the mountain’, the soul of our landscape and our connection with it.

It is time to open our eyes, to come to attention.

These Wandering Feet is a poetic exploration, made up of over 100 poems, through the sacred lands of pilgrimage. Australian poet Joel McKerrow invites the reader to join him as he traverses outer landscapes from Australia to North America, Europe and the United Kingdom; while at the same time walking the inner landscapes of shadow and faith, doubt and light, presence and absence. From unfolding with the questions to wrestling with the unknown, it is a journey of depth into what it means to truly see and to truly listen— in a world that is always speaking.

about

These Wandering Feet is Joel’s second studio album, debut release with The Poatina Tree Label and first collaboration with Tasmanian based producer and composer Spike Mason.

An assortment of other musicians have come on board for this exciting project incorporating twenty two tracks of the passionate spoken word of Joel McKerrow with the beautiful sounds of piano, viola, acoustic and classical guitar, clarinet, duduk, percussion and trumpet. This musical score takes Joel’s inspiring poetry and embodies it with stirring melodies and wistful strings.

Written throughout a worldwide trip taken by Joel in 2012-13 the album is a poetic exploration through the sacred lands of pilgrimage. Wrestling with themes of spirituality, relationships, self-identity and connection to the land it holds out a challenge to come to attention to a world that is always speaking.
