The only book of poems from this legendary author (who wrote the still
bestselling The Living Mountain) and who is now being re-discovered as
one of the greats of 20th century women writers.
Foreword by Robert Macfarlane, author of The Lost Words and The Old
Ways.
Nan Shepherd was a Scottish Modernist writer and poet. She was an early
writer in Scots, who wrote three stand-alone novels set in small,
fictional communities in North Scotland. The Scottish landscape and
weather played a major role in her novels and provided the focus for her
poetry.
