The teamwork between poet and artist here was very good. Kathleen Jamie writes some lovely moving little bits of prose and Brigid Collins then creates a piece of art to accompany the prose. The artwork is stunning, there is some much going on and it was a real nice touch to include some of the lines from the prose.
The collection is small but a lot of care has been taken, well worth checking out. Favourite from the book...
LINE
What is a line but landscape? Of distant hills, a shore or a river bank reflected in slack water - or the river itself, as seen by a migrating bird. Or a map of that river, etched on parchment.
What is a line but something heard, half-remembered – a fragment of poetry, a scrap of an auld sang. Or a beginning: when an artist first acts on her page.
What is a line? A border, a symbol of defence, of defiance.
