Yellow and Blue
The poems in this book form a series of small acts of attention, repeated attempts to step outside the circle of human concern and into a wider responsibility to the natural world. "To move among / crashing pines / is spacious / and exact". "Yellow & Blue" invites us to share the spaciousness of a book-length journey, an exacting clarity of perception.

Reviews
"These are love poems to the geography of Scotland and in their own inimitable way bring a clarity and vision to the 'scree slope' that 'tumbles/ into the green lochan" – Casey Charles, Dundee University Review of the Arts
