about the author

Kevin Algar is a poet from Suffolk. He is a qualified gardener who has researched local history including much about the history of the church in East Anglia. He also is an avid cyclist. He has also studied poetry ancient and modern which has given him  inspiration from a wide range of poetic sources from the Psalms, Anglo-Saxon and ancient Norse poetry through to modern poets. Over the years he has developed an exhaustive knowledge of Suffolk geography and history.

In Sælig Suffolk, Kevin Algar utilises his knowledge of the landscape, flora, history, local culture and history to speak of things both sacred and mundane. With differing poetic styles the pilgrimage begins in Lowestoft and through the journey we discover Suffolk’s landscapes, its history and its saints finishing at Iken which has been a place of Christian pilgrimage since 654 AD.
