Description
Praise poems alternate with diary entries and holiday postcards. Others cover stretches of water: Corrievreckan, say, or the Minch. And while there is a recurring sense of island heritage, and of belonging, the poet’s feet need not be actively on island soil or on the deck of a fishing-boat.
In Other Worlds editor Stewart Conn has sought poems to set readers’ hearts racing through a sharpening of memory or in opening new vistas and evoking new worlds and states of mind from the Orkneys and Shetland to the Hebrides, to Mull and Iona, Arran and Ailsa Craig; from St Kilda and Luing to Inchcape, the Torren rocks and the Isle of May.
