Description
Summer Isles is a collection of haiku that celebrate the beauty and mystery of summer in the Highlands. The poems are interspersed with evocations of ancient standing stones, crumbling sandcastles, and the memories of forgotten warriors.
The book explores the contrast between the light and beauty of the Summer Isles and the darker, more atmospheric world of four separate graveyards in the Highlands. A sense of melancholy and nostalgia pervades these poems, capturing the fleeting nature of summer's arrival and the passing of time.
