Kathleen Jamie is a Scottish poet and nature writer. This is her fourth book of prose, and is a collection of short pieces about her observations on the world around her, domestic and seemingly insignificant events and activities that resonate with a wisdom and beauty that only Kathleen Jamie could pull off. Some are perhaps prose poems rather than essays, some merely fragments, but each have a real power and strength. That said, I do think this book is more for Jamie fans than readers new to her, so I would recommend starting with Findings, or Sightlines.
