This is 'Cairn', to be published at midsummer. Notes, poems, micro-essays, acts of witness. 'Wonderful writing...a profound meditation on the precariousness of the planet.' Thank you The Observer and to Sort of Books, for making it a thing of beauty.
Kathleen Jamie will be discussing CAIRN “This marvel of a book” (Observer) at: 13th June Topping & Company Booksellers of Edinburgh : 18th June Topping & Company Booksellers of St Andrews and in London London Review Bookshop on 27th June. A book for quiet summer moments Independent Alliance Ruth Killick
“The sobbing trill gliding into silence and bone.” Kathleen Jamie - Cairn is a treat I am trying to savour. Mary Colwell I presume you have already devoured!
Sad news from Fine Press Poetry. Such beautiful books.
One week to go! Details at: paperboats.org/submissions As an unfunded grassroots organisation we rely on the generosity of our writers in donating their work. If published though, we’ll send you one of our coveted Paperboat badges donated by Scotland’s Makar Kathleen Jamie
My last day as Makar. It's been a joy. To Scottish Government and Scottish Poetry Library, to @historic_ally, the librarians, readers, writers of Scotland, to the gods and goddesses of poetry, eternal thanks. There will be another Makar, in due course. Me, I'm in my garret, having a wee lie doon.
creativescotland.com/news-stories/l… Really? REALLY?? We start alone, feeling our way. Writers, artists, composers. From an idea, a groping in the dark, a little funding comes huge success. This is Creative Scotland and Scottish Government at their worst.
