Description

Andrew Greig's poems are acts of attention, when the mind wakes up and the world snaps into focus. This is a book of awakenings - to loss and renewal, to present and past and place. Playful or serious, colloquial or formal, they speak directly of life lived. Celebratory or elegiac, whether set in Orkney, Spain, coastal Fife, or Edinburgh, Greig's poems invite the same pleasure in the reader. They explore dayliness, mortality, and marriage, offering a unique perspective on the world around us. With 64 pages of concise yet powerful verse, this collection is an excellent introduction to Andrew Greig's work.
