A story of 3 friends navigating their personal and professional lives, at a time of geopolitical crisis. How can the creative imagination, in the arts and culture, renew our perception of difficult and divisive political situations? In the mirrored room of international relations, how can fresh ideas connect people locked, by their attitudes and perceptions, into different and seperate corners? Samuel Taylor Coleridge found a way of steering through competing ideologies, events and ideas in his times. His 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner' poem haunts the hero of this story, as he develop an Arts Publishing Company committed to a wider and deeper exploration of creative and imaginative processes. He remembers three nights of intense and formative discussion about Coleridge's philosophy, during a walking holiday in Wales, when the three friends remembered Coleridge's own time in Wales. Those ideas stay with him as the years pass and his two friends go there different ways. It is one thing to find connections between contrasting ideas. It is quite another to make or find connections between three people whose lives have changed. The action moves from Cambridge to Wales, to London, to New York and the Middle East.
