Sometimes meditative, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, they range from industrial Scotland to rural Cumbria and across the North Atlantic, taking the reader through geological and human concepts of time right up to the present moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'I loved how accessible, they are, and how true. So much goes on beneath their shimmering surfaces. From a shell-littered west coast beach to overheard stories on a Kincardine bus, Carol McKay's poetry is vividly and poignantly in touch with the things that matter - family, community, a sense of place and of history. These big-hearted, keen-eyed poems understand just how precarious life can be, and how thrilling.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eChris Powici\u003c\/em\u003e, author of This Weight of Light: poems, Red Squirrel Press, 2015.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Craft without ever seeming in any way laboured, tight but not overwrought.
