Burning Whins: And Other Poems

Details

Burning Whins concerns itself with relationships and ownership. Describing the Scottish Parliament, plane travel in the Western Isles, and the destruction wrought by the recent Foot and Mouth epidemic with equal familiarity and fluidity, these poems depict the many faces of contemporary Scotland with grace and intimacy.
