Kathleen Jamie Knihy

A new collection of writing from the prize-winning author of Findings and Sightlines.

It's surprising what you can find by simply stepping out to look. Kathleen Jamie, award winning poet, has an eye and an ease with the nature and landscapes of Scotland as well as an incisive sense of our domestic realities. In Findings she draws together these themes to describe travels like no other contemporary writer. Whether she is following the call of a peregrine in the hills above her home in Fife, sailing into a dark winter solstice on the Orkney islands, or pacing around the carcass of a whale on a rain-swept Hebridean beach, she creates a subtle and modern narrative, peculiarly alive to her connections and surroundings.

The first modern anthology of Scottish nature writing which acknowledges the realities of our times, edited, curated and introduced by the award-winning author of Findings

This collection features a striking array of bilingual poems by Scotland's National Poet, showcasing the richness of Scottish culture and language. The poems explore themes of identity, nature, and social issues, offering readers a unique perspective through the interplay of English and Scots. The work celebrates the beauty of linguistic diversity, inviting both native speakers and those new to the language to engage with the poetry's emotional depth and cultural significance.
