Description
Richie McCaffery's debut collection of poems, Cairn, is a journey through the overlooked places of everyday life. With a keen eye for the unexpected image and turn of phrase, McCaffery crafts poems that form markers in the landscape of love, lore and family. These poems take delight in the ordinary, turning it into something extraordinary. From a tarnished silver spoon to a bookmark lodged in a book decades old, each poem is a discovery waiting to be made. Cairn is a collection that celebrates the beauty in the forgotten and the buried. Written by Richie McCaffery, a teaching assistant at The University of Glasgow, Cairn is his second poetry pamphlet, following Spinning Plates (HappenStance Press, 2012) and Ballast Flint (Cromarty Arts Trust, 2013).
