Graham, the celebrated author of "Nightfishing" and Malcolm Mooney's Land.“Does it disturb the language?” the Scottish poet W. S. Graham liked to ask about a poem.

  • Edwin Morgan: Collected Poems

    by Kathleen Jamie ...

In The Tree House Jamie argues - as Burns did before her - for an engagement of the whole being through a kind of practical earthly spirituality. These often startling encounters with animals, birds, and other ... Read more
