52° 36′ 9.1″ N, 1° 25′ 19.5″ W comprises a book and a video. The project configures a feminist mode of psychogeography through a combination of lyric, pastoral, and documentary poetry.

The lyric “I” speaks as a flâneuse (female flâneur – urban wanderer) re-positioned at the rural site of a sexual assault. The site of the unnamed, unlisted, and unmarked aqueduct embodies and displaces the traumatic memory. Details of local history, geography, and architecture facilitate associations and disassociations between fragments of narrative.

The video documents a site-specific performance with field recordings, while the book incorporates pressed flowers from the site and photographs printed on translucent inserts. Readings performed with the text from the book require three voices.

Poetry reading performed with Emma Conway and Max Richmond at the Play! Festival, Fire Station Arts Centre, Windsor, 2012.
