Description

This is an adventurous new collection of poems in which past companions are recalled, and the lives of the occupants of long-ruined farms imaginatively reconstructed, amid a spectacular landscape of hills, moors and cliffs. The fauna and flora of Kintyre's west coast come to life in affectionate detail. The poems – all written in the winters of 2015/16 and 2016/17 - also capture the spiritual values inherent in the silence and strangeness of remote places. They will speak both to local people who know and love such places as The Inneans, Craigaig and Largiebaan, and to those who have appreciated Angus Martin's poetry in the past or who wish to discover it now.

Author Biography:

Angus Martin was born in Campbeltown in 1952, and has been writing poems since his early teens. In 1969, as `A. S. Martin’, he had two poems accepted for the annual anthology published by Edinburgh University Press. His poems continue to appear in a variety of magazines, newspapers and anthologies and to be collected in self-published pamphlets. There are also three published volumes: The Larch Plantation (1990, Macdonald); The Song of the Quern (1998, Scottish Cultural Press) and A Night of Islands (2015, Shoestring Press).
