This collection of Kenneth White's poetry shows the full sweep of his vision from his earliest work until 2000. The same elements recur again and again - rocks, sea, mist, gulls and the natural world.
A self-contained series of lectures delivered to the Edinburgh International Book Festival and, as first Hi-Arts International Fellow, in the Highlands of Scotland.
An initial mapping of this book might say that it goes from the Orkneys to Polynesia via Scandinavia and the Baltic regions, the Iberian peninsula, and North America, but it's impossible to sum up the diverse pathways and multiple dimensions in that highly original type of travel-writing White calls the waybook.
