The Road North is a collaborative journey by Alec Finlay and Ken Cockburn, retracing Basho’s poetic path through Scotland. The project blends poetry, sound, and landscape in a blog, book, and audio recording published by Shearsman.

The Road North is a word-map of Scotland, composed by Alec Finlay and Ken Cockburn as they traveled through their homeland, guided by the Japanese poet Basho, whose Oku-no-Hosomichi (Narrow Road to the Deep North) is one of the masterpieces of travel literature. Ken and Alec departed from Edinburgh on May 16, 2010 — the very same date that Basho and his companion Sora departed from Edo in 1689. The result of their journey is a collaborative audio and visual word-map realized as a blog, book, and audio recording, describing the landscapes they saw and the people they met.

An audio recording accompanies the book-length poem, published by Shearsman in October 2014. The recording is an abridged version of the poem, performed by Alec Finlay, Ken Cockburn, and Lisa Matsumoto, with sound design by Geoff Sample.
