OTHER WORLDS: AN ANTHOLOGY OF SCOTTISH ISLAND POEMS

From Barra and Eriskay to Luing, Mingulay and the Isle of May; Inchcape and the Torren rocks to Taransay and Tiree. In this new anthology, rich depictions of island flora and fauna sit alongside sightings of croft dwellers and ferry-lowpers. Expressions of affection and accounts of imprisonment and bereavement accompany evocations of drowned sailors, corporeal and ghostly. Praise poems alternate with diary entries and holiday postcards. Editor Stewart Conn has sought poems to set the reader’s heart racing, to open new vistas and states of mind.
