Description  

A collection, written in English and Scots, that explores immigration, home and place.

'When I first left my home, the gnawing ache for all I'd left behind family, friends, my land, my whole life made me numb and thrawn. Weeping and sobbing bubblin an greetin, as you would call it in Scotland would have been too wet and hand-wringy. What I felt was bone-dry and primal; I wanted to drop to my knees, throw my head back and howl. I pined like an animal, without tears.' - Alison Flett

'The people could be poet, family, reader or all of us on this drowning, burning earth. The present could be this moment, or a past so intensely remembered, or a future so powerfully imagined that past, present and future are simultaneously here. We are with a poet who knits intricate patterns of sound and image, line to line.' - Duncan McLean
