Statement

Sonia Overall is a novelist, poet and lecturer in Creative Writing at Canterbury Christ Church University. Her current practice involves intertextual writing, crossover forms and formal experimentation. She is also exploring the use of constraints, game-playing, randomness and chance to generate text. Sonia draws on psychogeographical methods and labyrinth walking in her writing and teaching. She is interested in the relationship between creativity and walking, walking and women's mobility and contemporary walking studies. Her recent chapbook of poems 'The Art of Walking' is a collection of responses to movement and place, self and setting, drawing directly on her walking practice.
