Description
Katrina Porteous's poetry explores the complex relationships between place and community. Born in Scotland but raised in North-East England, her work delves into the ambiguities of borderlands, from ancient walls to modern-day borders. The poems in Two Countries are rooted in direct oral testimony, drawing on local stories, songs, and dialects. The book is organized around a selection of her radio work, featuring voices from fishermen and hill farmers, as well as other regional voices. This unique blend of spoken word and written poetry creates a rich tapestry of sound and sense. The poems are meant to be heard aloud, and an accompanying ebook with audio is published simultaneously with the print edition.
