Lud Heat and Suicide Bridge Summary

Lud Heat and Suicide Bridge by Iain Sinclair

An exploration of a contemporary city and the historical and mythical patterns that it hides. The churches of Nicholas Hawksmoor, built to a strange plan in a London ravaged by fire and plague, are the sites of mystery and energy that animate this story of post-war England.

Lud Heat and Suicide Bridge Reviews

'A wonderful poem' Peter Ackroyd 'Lud Heat combines researches into the sinister dotted lines which link up the Hawksmoor churches of East London - complete with a very fine diagram displaying the pentacles and triangulations which connect churches to plague pits to the sites of the notorious Whitechapel and Ratclyffe Highway murders - with a broken sequence of breathtakingly lovely modern freeverse lyrics' Jenny Turner, London Review of Books
