1780. West Yorkshire. Cast out from the Earnshaw household where he has lived for nearly a decade, Heathcliff is left to fend for himself. Betrayed by his first love Catherine and now heartbroken and alone again, he takes to the upper moorlands of the Pennines and embarks upon a journey of survival. 'Heathcliff Adrift' is a series of narrative poems that explore the imagined wanderings of this most enduring anti-hero of literature.
