Rezensionen

Kathleen Jamie writes with unparalleled beauty, sharpness of observation, wit, delicacy, strength of vision and rare exactness of language

It is not often that the prose of a poet is as powerful as her verse, but Jamie's is

Her achievement is to make us look again with completely fresh eyes at those creatures and places we had long presumed to know

The leading Scottish poet of her generation

Kathleen Jamie is a supreme listener . . . and in the quietness of her listening, you hear her own voice: clear, subtle, respectful, and so unquenchably curious that it makes the world anew. This is as close as writing gets to a conversation with the natural world

A sorceress of the essay form. Never exotic, down to earth, she renders the indefinable to the reader's ear. Hold her tangible words and they'll take you places
