Description

This beautiful volume of winter and Christmas-themed verses will be a hugely welcome addition to the George Mackay Brown canon.

The poet and novelist lived and worked all his life in Stromness on Orkney: the islands being the sole inspiration for the huge and immensely rich body of work that he left behind at his death in 1997. Many of Mackay Brown's poems are set in the winter months and we have made here a selection of some of the most evocative.

Seamus Heaney wrote of him:
"George Mackay Brown has added uniquely and steadfastly to the riches of poetry in English: his sense of the world and his way with words are powerfully at one with each other."

The book has Orcadian woodcuts by the artist Kath Littler, including a cover illustration 'Hoy Hare'.

About the Author
Brown, George MacKay: - George Mackay Brown was born in Stromness, Orkney, on 17 October 1921. He died there in 1996. His many awards include a Society of Authors Travel Award, 1968; SAC Literature Prize, 1969; Katherine Mansfield Menton Short Story Prize, 1971; Hon. LLD from Dundee University, 1977; OBE, 1974; James Tait Black Memorial Prize 1987 (for The Golden Bird). He was nominated for the Booker Prize in 1994 for his novel Beside the Ocean of Time.Littler, Kath: - Kath Littler worked as an art teacher and practicing painter in various media throughout her career. After moving to Dorset in 1992, she became interested in printmaking and was a member of Poole Printmakers for many years. Then, in 2003, she was inspired to take up wood engraving. Much of Kath's subject matter derives from the beauty of the landscape and coast. She prints her wood engravings by hand on a Victorian press and is a member of the Society of Wood Engravers, with whom she exhibits regularly.
