Description
Pushing the Wave: Highlights from five years of reflections and insights
In Pushing the Wave, L.A. Davenport presents a richly varied collection of pieces that traverse the landscapes of modern life, art, philosophy and personal reflection. Drawn from the most compelling content of Thoughts and Pieces on pushingthewave.co.uk from 2017 to 2022, this anthology invites readers to explore a wide range of topics—from musings on creativity and human nature to thoughts on technology, travel and the environment.
Each piece has been thoughtfully updated, edited and annotated for this collection, accompanied by a series of evocative drawings and photographs taken across Britain, Europe and as far afield as Buenos Aires. These visual elements capture scenes of daily life, memorable encounters and striking places, creating a vivid background for the essays and stories that bring Davenport's unique perspective to light. Whether you’re revisiting favorite entries or discovering them anew, Pushing the Wave is an invitation to engage with ideas that resonate on a personal and universal level.
